Atlas Shrugged. Diesel locomotive(see news today re: Mercy) breaks down due to lack of preventative maintenance. Politician on board thinks that his "position" makes him more powerful that laws of reality.
He orders a coal locomotive to drive them through a 5 mile long tunnel. Locomotive smoke kills everyone on board from asphyxiation.
Crap….coal locomotives were called "smokers" in the book.
Green light?
