Why do trains crash?

[peteski]

I just watched this episode of NOVA and I found it very interesting.  Looks like it is available on Youtube.

"Why do trains crash?"

Because people, or equipment failure, try to force them to do things they aren't designed to do, or which violate the laws of nature?

Yes, you summarized it quite nicely, but I still had more fun watching the program.

That is why I posted the Youtube URL - you can watch it anytime.  If you have a smart TV, you can even watch it on the big screen.

I'm not sure if we have a "smart" TV.  Would the YouTube be one of the apps, like where we find Netflix, etc?  I checked and it's not there on ours.

I'm not really up  on my Smart TV knowledge (I sitill have my 32" Sony TV with a CRT (and with a once-popular picture-in-picture dual-tuner which with the current need to use a cable box is now useless).

My GF has a smart TV and I know we can watch YouTube videos on it - not sure how she does it and I'm not there now.  But since you've mentioned apps on your TV then it is a good chance it is a Smart TV (which probably reports your watching habits to the TV manufacturer) 

But like with every question nowadays, I went to Google and searched for https://www.google.com/#q=how+to+watch+Youtube+videos+on+smart+tv&*  The answer popped up on the top of the search results.

If you can connect it to your router, you have a Smart TV.

Hmm... my guess is trains
crash due to inertia...
