I Love single malt, travel (not on business nor to covet airmiles - which had accumulated galore the last 14 years) and music, my family (not nessarily in the order mentioned)... Thanks Udhay for making me part of this and look forward to interacting with you all on the web and whenever opportunity presents itself ..in person.. Regards, Sanjeev Kumar

Re: [silk] Speed - The Movie
Gautam John wrote: ... there is a scene where the bus jumps over a break in a bridge [2]. My question is what speed would the bomb/speedometer register when the bus is airborne? I'm thinking the bomb should have gone off when in the air... AFAIK, the speedometer relies on wheel/transmission revolutions so, a foot on the gas pedal should be enough to ensure that the speed does not drop below 50 mph. There is of course the problem that the jump is physically impossible. The people who make those movies never factor in the IQ levels of the target audience. They think we are fools/dumb anyway. The moment the front wheels go into the ditch, gravity takes over and its a nose dive. Now supposing we put a jet engine at the rear to provide the thrust, how the hell do we get the lift (without wings)? Assuming all that is working, the engine has to be driving the same set of wheels as the one recording the rpms. Even with his(her) foot on the gas pedal, if the tachometer is connected to some wheel which is not being driven by the engine, these blokes get blown up. Lukhman
