A bomb is going to be just as horrifying on a Hyperloop as it would be on a plane - killing hundreds and destroying even more infrastructure then a bomb on a plane would. Security is still a need.
- Retric 9y agoIt does not need to be impervious, just no better a target than a sidewalk. I don't think a reasonable sized bomb is going to do much more than kill people in a single car. So, sure some people would die and it would cause some damage, but not even close to hundreds. Basically, the same risks as someone blowing up a buss, which has no real safty checks.
- Pxtl 9y agoIf a bomb causes a breach of the loop, what happens to the other cars? If cars are going rapidfire, what happens to the next car if one car stops faster than braking speed, or causes a deformity of the tunnel that obstructs it?
