It's all about ratings and making money...  You can see how it would spark
an interest, we've seen every other conceivable story line and plot.

	Its HOLLYWOOD is how they got it to work --. and from what the
average citizen know about nuclear weapons and waste this very well may be
the way it is done. Just the mear mention of the word "NUCLEAR" throws them
into a panic state.

	'Sorry to disappoint the good folks at NBC, but...

	1)  Nuclear weapons are no longer transported by train in the US.

	2)  Nuclear weapons and nuclear waste aren't ever transported
	together.

	3)  You can't get a nuclear yield from a weapon just because it gets
	bumped around a little (or a lot).

	Q:  How does a train *unwittingly* carry BOTH nuclear weapons
	and nuclear waste?  I guess there wasn't enough info for me to
	understand how they could make this plot even partially
realistic....

	'Hope everyone's weekend is progressing nicely,
