If you had an UH60 Blackhawk, what is the maximum distance you starting/evacuation point should be from the track to make you able to evacuate all the passengers before the train reaches Milwaukee?
Your knowledge of the situation starts immediately after the train leaves Chicago (actually it is just running through because of the faulty brakes).
Like, umm, i think I'm missing some information:
How fast is a blackhawk;
how many people fit in a blackhawk;
How long does it take to load/unload those people from the blackhawk;
What's the distance between chigago and milwaukee;
What is the range of a bazooka;
How many tries do angry math students need to hit a moving train with a bazooka;

You do make these questions difficult for us foreigners [img]smile.gif[/img]
I'll do some searching and will get back to you.
