Talk:Trolley problem

Criticism section

I am deleting a portion because I honestly do not know why anyone thought two individuals with no notable contributions to or credentials in philosophy writing in their own political magazine would warrant that space. There's no evidence that the article has been impactful in discussions about the subject or that it is representative of a large percentage of people's opinions. A random person thinking that the article is insightful is not grounds for inclusion; there needs to be some form of notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.194.153.220 (talk) 01:53, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

A third solution that kills nobody

I can't remember where I came across this solution. It was a case of an actual railroader who suggested it: Wait until the trolley's front truck has passed the points of the switch rods and then quickly operate the switch. This will cause a derailment because the front truck goes one way and the rear truck goes the other way. If there's enough space between the switch and the people who would be killed, nobody will die. The source I found made no mention of what happens to the people on the trolley. -- Frotz(talk) 01:58, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
