John Seger, an NTSB agent, gets on board the train trying different ways to stop it. Meanwhile Denver is in chaos as people are breaking into stores, stealing TVs and heading to Kansas. John Seger is on the runaway trying to beat the crap out of the inside of engine. Wally, the engineer of train, tries the brakes at the same time, and the reason they're doing that is because on Jackson Summit a huge grade up-hill and the train slows down, but a train from behind smashes into the caboose assuming the runaway is going fast and derails the caboose. John Seger tells Wally to get off the train, and they jump off before the train picks up too much speed. By now the runaway is less than 20 miles away from Miller's Bend. They're sure it's gonna derail there then the train derails and now John Seger and N.E.S.T. (Nuclear Emergency Search Team) try to lift the bomb out of the box car. John Seger and everybody else leaves the area, but someone in the N.E.S.T. group decides to stay. He plans to disarm the bomb. They called all nearby people with helicopters to splash fire retardant on it but someone drops water on it the chemicals react and the bomb explodes. Written by CSD See less
