Question for math wizards: If it takes you 43:00 to travel 20 miles, how many MHP are you traveling?

I'd try to figure it out myself but I'm too tired an need to get to bed. Would it be a little more than 2 miles an hour?

[Astarlessnightsky]

43:00 mins for 20 Miles
divide with 43
1 mins for 0,4651162791 Miles
multiply with 60
1 hour for 27,906976746

So its about 28 MPH

Thanks! That's how fast that train in East Palestine was going, apparently. I just got word that the under side of one of the box cars was already heavily in flames 20 miles before the crash occurred.

Has terrorism been ruled out? I mean of the federal government sponsored kind.

It's not exactly unprecedented.

[FunkyMonkee]

@Sixgunsound I have no idea. From what I've heard, there was trouble with one of the wheel axles running hot and, maybe that started the fire.

Isn't it amazing How all of these fires explosions or derailments Only happened in conservative areas? Isn't it also amazing that the sheer number of chicken or other food processing facilities that have burned down in the last couple of years? If I was an insurance actuary I'd be crying fowl🤣

43 minutes or 43 hours? lol

[FunkyMonkee]

Minutes. Hours would've been 43:00:00.
