It’s Tom Cruise. It just comes out of the Mission Impossible budget. And he insists on driving the train himself.
In all seriousness, though: this was the small scale test - the nuclear bombs designed for wars have much higher payloads. It’s not the sort of thing that can be tested in labs.
It’s real. It was an unmanned blimp flown near a test site to see what would happen, basically.
Who approves the budget for these crazy ideas instead of just testing them on a small scale?
“Hey what would happen if we nuked a high speed train? Only one way to find out!”
