800mph (simulated) train

[Benni]

First : I hope that is not a repost.
Second : I really LOLed at the bonneville-concept of ~20 jet engines propelling a train,
with one rollcage for the driver, some spoilers (and, yes, no fuel tanks)
Third : I suspect a PHer did this crappy simulation,
like the way the "train" runs out of track momentarily (graphic card doing a Gromit there)
and had a little fun watching it, maybe you have it too.
Fourth : WARNING contains "crash"

Those rockets sound remarkably like diesels.

And look like high bypass jet engines!

I wouldn't fancy sitting in the seat behind one of those jet engines!

Looks a lot slower than the claimed 1200km/h. Those aerofoils look rather dangerous to anyone standing near the edge of the platform!

At that speed they would cut you in half but leave you stood there wondering what jusy happened!

Dull ~ needs re-heat!
