The train doesn't stop

At a New Jersey train station, people are waiting for their train to go to work in New York City. It is Monday morning and the time is 7:25. The train is due in 5 minutes.

From a distance people see the train coming and get closer, ready to embark. However the closer it gets, it seems the fastest it goes. There is no sign of breaking to come to rest.
Lo and behold, at the station where it is supposed to stop, the train carries on. People are dumbfounded not knowing what is happening. Already some are getting angry for they will be arriving late to work.

Curiously, this same train does not stop at its next destination, it just keeps going, thus mixing more people wondering what is happening.

By now the Central Control has taken notice and tries to communicate with the driver of the train to find out what the problem is. The driver informs Central Control that he has lost control of the breaks and they refuse to obey his commands. The more he breaks, the fastest the train goes. He is at a loss and wonders what to do next. Passengers are yelling, many have come to him and threaten his life if he does not stop the train.

The map of the train itinerary is drawn and luckily it does go in circle. The problem worsens when we find out that other trains have the same predicament. None of them is stopping. At this early hour, there are seven of them doing the run bringing people from the suburbs to New York. The fear is whether at one time, one will hit the one in front.

The need is to find ways to reduce the speed of all units, to keep them at a distance from one another so they do not crash one on the other.
Someone suggests to position a heavy cargo with breaks in front of the bullet train in a way that will not come crushing on it and to avoid a derailment, that the heavy cargo will slowly break forcing the bullet train to stop as well.

The proposition is studied. It is very delicate but feasible. What no one knows is that the heavy cargo will suffer from the same bug that is affecting all the seven trains. So the problem now is expanded.

This Monday morning New York City is almost empty. People in the City do not know why,b until the medias take hold of the news to inform the public. No one knows what to do but we start fearing for the lives of the people in those trains.

Someone proposed to evacuate the passengers using helicopters, but the speed of the train is too strong. Someone suggested that there must be some heart attack victims in the trains but how can we get to them to transport them to a hospital.

Sadly some notice that the only way to stop these bullets is a derailment but what would be the cost of life? Unthinkable!

It is now 9:15 and this has been going on for nearly two hours non stop. Luckily no crash between trains but how long will it remain that way?

At the Control Center, someone proposes that maybe we should reduce the intensity of the electricity that runs the train and that way speed will be reduced. The suggestion is studied and it seems to make sense. But another person warns that all trains will have tohave their speed reduced at exactly the same rate to avoid a collision. The point is well taken thus much caution is imperative.

It is decided to wait another half an hour in case another proposition makes more sense.
All know that half an hour of this treatment to the passengers is hardly bearable.

By now at all the station more people keep coming for their train to see that the crowd is enormous. Many who have missed twice or three times their trains decide to leave and go take a cab and head to town. Soon all taxis are taken and none are available. Panic starts to take place on ground while people have no idea of the commotion inside those trains.

Inside the trains where by now nearly three hours have elapsed since the beginning of this crazy roller coaster, passengers, use their cell phones to inform their relatives of their predicament, asking if medias are aware and whether solutions are on the way. Unfortunately they do not get any positive response since no one has found a way yet to get out of this trouble.

Here and there certain passengers fearing a collision think they should jump out of a running train taking the risk of injuring themselves rather than dying. They even suggest to others that this is the only way to go. Soon enough, the first, then the second and the third jump. As expected they roll before coming to a stop and indeed they have hard time getting up. The jumpers chose an area with no concrete to avoid more damage to their bodies. So far only men jumped.

When this information is passed on to the Control Center, there too panic grows for before long all the jumpers will be suing the train company. Areas propitious to jumping are quickly identified and a group of rescuers are sent there to relieve the jumpers.

The half hour waiting time before a decision has arrived and a move must be taken to weaken the intensity of electricity to reduce the trains’ speed.
The right buttons are pushed for all trains throughout the full network. Within few minutes two of the seven trains seem to slow down while the others are still in full speed.
No one can understand why and fear starts building up at the Center.

By now not only the mayor of New York but the Governor of the State as well,bb are surrounded by all sorts of engineers to find a response to the drama. A call comes in informing them that three jumpers have died in their fall while the others are not in a very good shape. At the same time, on the monitors surveying the movements of the train, one can easily see that a collision is about to take place as a rapid train is getting too close to a slower moving one. The closer it gets, the hardest it is for all to come to terms with what is facing them. 

By now every TV and radio station in the city is filming and reporting what they see to the world. Helicopters are following the trains and one of them notices that the conductor of the train speeding towards the one before him has decided to jump before the collision.
Within seconds, just when the first one was crossing a bridge and nearing a station, the back one slams into it. 

The shock is tremendous. The repercussion from the last car to the first in no time is felt. 
Cars are derailed, and pile up on top of the other. The scene is catastrophic. Bodies are projected in all directions. What to do when the worst is yet to come for five more trains are still on their tracks?

Ambulances and fire trucks gather in no time to come to the rescue. 

The Control Center has now decided that rather than reduce the electricity intensity as they have done, to cut it completely and let the trains just stop. That too can be dangerous as we have no idea where the stop will take place. No choice, it must be done.

A report comes to the Center to the effect that as of 11:45 on this fateful Monday morning, 147 bodies have been recovered, all dead, and 283 injured have been sent to the nearest hospitals. All know that the fatalities may increase.

Still nit finished
