Officials in Memphis, Tennessee are finding themselves confronted with an existential question with all sorts of moral implications requiring them to sacrifice one for the other, the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports on an impossible conundrum for which there is no one “right” answer.
Well actually it was a pretty easy call for Memphis Area Transit Authority: The brakes on the trolleys are all fucked up so they have to take the system offline until they figure out a fix. Luckily no one was injured in the two separate incidents in which one of the railcars slammed into the door of their storage barn. In another an operator was required to use “dynamic braking to safely bring the vehicle to a stop,” without being vexed into an agonizing but utilitarian outcome to the dilemma.
