500km/h? Sure = MagLev

One of the coolest things Ive ever seen
(Obviously, the video creator thought so too, because they show the same scene 3 times)

I've been hearing about those things for years...didn't know they actually had any in active service. Just imagine if Amtrak ever got their hands on one of those. Can you picture a derailment at 250+mph?

the geekz0r (11:04:16 PM): so 2nd pulls like 1st in the 5speed, 3rd is like 2nd, etc.
PortugeeTex (11:04:26 PM): so whats 1st like then?
the geekz0r (11:04:49 PM): 1st is like hitting a cheeta in the ass with a tazer
PortugeeTex (11:04:53 PM): lmfao
