And this concludes your history lesson for the day
I'm sure that just the sound itself was distressing to those on the ground then, knowing what was to come....
Definitely a reportable offense to the local business licensing dept.
Crooks are going to do what they think they can get away with until someone throws a wrench in their plans.
My buddy took me there a few months ago for lunch (I had never been before). When I saw the bill, I was like f that, that shit's criminal! So to each there own, and if someone wants to pay that IMO, OUTLANDISHLY high price for a burger, drink and fries, its on them.Definitely a reportable offense to the local business licensing dept.

But then for this to happen? Almost comical.
I have alot of respect for LE but this is just wrong...
That's almost what airlines cruise at and this thing is able to accelerate to that insane speed faster than any military jet on the ground.

Record set by an experimental maglev in China
An experimental magnetic levitation vehicle developed in China accelerated from zero to 800 km/h in just 5.3 seconds on a one-kilometre-long test track.

They couldn't give two fuks if that thing ends in a fireball. What's a few hundred or thousand Chinese citizens when you have 1.41 BILLION people any ways?

LEO department needs to be sued for that one.
This is why balance is so important, and why in extreme cases of abuse even the individual LEO should be on the line for damages
Stopping from just shy of 500 MPH to 0 in 650 ft. would equal 119 Gs of decel.
Or, "Is a scraper included with the ride"?

It was unmanned and its not like they have a lot of track (about 0.6 mile) for it to come to a gradual stop. The navy does it similarly to launch aircraft aboard the Gerald Ford class carrier but not at such insane speed and acceleration.

I see shell casings coming out!
A little too Plus if it were real, I would be jumping/flying out of bed, haha
Too bad their efforts can also endanger public safety....a traffic signal was cut down along with the camera at this location as well as at other locations....it could very well be the reason someone runs a red light and T-bones someone going through on a green, possibly causing serious injury. The signals are there for a GOOD reason.
I don't lose any sleep over the Flock and other ALPR's being cut down or disabled but I DO have a problem if doing so negatively impacts the proper operation of official traffic signals for vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
