- I'm a southern Christian conservative with a degree in civil & environmental engineering and a passion for the truth of God's Word, writing, hiking, investing, fly fishing, cooking and the great outdoors. My favorite tech invention = spellcheck. There are no such things as rights without responsibility, a free lunch, cheap grace, man-made climate change, successful government engineering, or figuring out when life begins. We're hurling towards the abyss with only One Life-Line: it's not botox, a "living" Constitution, celebrity president, or making nice with our dark enemies.. Meanwhile, God gave us His Word, His Son, Grace Upon Grace, family/friends and the greatest country in the world to live--if we can keep it .Comments are closed but you can email me at: webutante07 at gmail dot com.

A RUNAWAY MISSILE THE SIZE OF THE CHRYSLER BUILDING?
In terms of length, it could be a lot more than that.
I've learned from counting, at railroad crossings, that if a freight train has 4 locomotive units pulling, it'll typically have 100 to 115 cars. Averaging around 50 feet per car, you're looking at a mile-long train, maybe 10,000 tons in all (100 tons per car is not out of the question).
On one hand, a hefty size missile speeding on land. On the other hand, a pipsqueak compared to the tonnage of a cargo ship.
Possible sequel: "Runaway Ship" (No; wait! They already did that with "Speed II" (So?!!!) :-)
Probably more info-trivia than you wanted.
