    A little digging on the net has shown this to have not happened in real life... it is a fictional story. In my life, it could never have happened as my child would not accompany me to such a potentially dangerous place. If however, I was faced with a situation such as this, I would have pulled the lever, found my son's body and probably taken my own life from the unbearable grief.

    I'd choose my son in a heartbeat, this from a guy that has no kids. I'm going by how my Dad felt for me.

    Those people on that train wouldnt have a prayer. apparently the engineer thought the red light was a Christmas decoration? I'm gonna kill my kid because of that putz? bzzzzzzzzzzz, wrong answer

    was I the only one who finds the analogy of the bridge dude and God sacrificing Christ as somewhat contrite, or am I the only jaded @sshole in this thread. Comparing Man to God? that just screams "FAIL" to me, call me kooky.

    I'm not god or godlike, not possible. If I were in that scenario, my son lives, the train = going swimming. splishy splash
