That would only result in panic and chaos, because many Americans seriously believe in the Rapture and would be shocked to be not amongst the floating people.

There would be a lot of complaining, so much is true.

An integral part of living somewhat successfully is the ability to correct your mistakes before other people find out you done goofed up.

Fortunately, these two addresses were pretty close, usually, my pick up and delivery addresses are at least an hour away. I don't know what happened yesturday, I've never made that before, I've made other mistakes, but not that one

If I drive a jet fighter into a house I'd argue both are broken in the aftermath. Why couldn't the same be true for the jet powered train and the tunnel?

You're right, I just think it'd be funny if it was going fast enough to come out unharmed after entering a too small tunnel. Like running into a glass panel.

Reading Dracula in a 21st century context is wild. This guy goes to visit the Count at his castle in Transylvania, and he's like "the Count is a very strange man and he gives me the creeps. He has sharp teeth, no reflection, and went crazy when I cut myself shaving. Wonder what his deal is?" And the entire time you have to bear in mind that this book occurs in a time and place where Dracula is not one of the most iconic horror characters of all time, so Johnathan Harker brushing off all the locals who clearly don't want him to go to Dracula's castle makes sense in context.
