Hi
I agree there is a risk in traveling in a "hyperloop", just as there is in flying or walking across the street. I think this topic is a great point. I think that if there is a crash with many fatalities, all the hyperloop's in the world will be shut down for a while, and a certain percentage of people will be afraid to travel in them.
Of course, thousands of people die in U.S. freeway crashes each year, but we don't shut them down and most people accept the slight risk of traveling on a freeway.

I want to defend ESPN in at least one area. I think all of their original documentary programs, most of which are excellent (starting with the "30 for 30" series a few years ago) can be seen for free online. I saw all eight hours or so of the Oscar winning "O.J.: Made In American" that way.
Since I go to yard sales and thrift shops all the time, an obvious question is how do we know that these rare or trace elements did not end up on D.B. Cooper's tie from a previous owner of the tie?
