Things I did not understand in The Happening. Spoilers.


- If most of the population in northeastern US perished how schools can be opened again? I mean would it take a great deal of time to repopulate the cities at first place?

- Why the train stopped in Filbert after "all connection" was lost? Couldn't they just kept going?

- If the crazy hermit lady "grows her own food" how can she have a lemon drink? Do lemons grow in Pennsylvania?

Most would be 50.01%. So definitely plausible!

I've ridden on a load of trains in my day. Some have inexplicable policies and you just have to smile and ride along.

She probably grows her own food, yeah, but that doesn't mean she grows all her own food.

But, also, some herbs can be lemony...

The news kept repeating 'airborne' but not one ahole picked up a mask of any sort!

reply

Those two old ladies were wearing masks. Other than that, where would a normal person on their way home from work pick up a mask? Do you own a mask? Because I don't!

reply

Come on Nriks, nobody goes outside with out a mask in the hangbag or pocket and when your out in the country side, middle of nowhere there are plenty of masks just hanging around in case of an emergency,

It’s October 2020 and reading this comment is pretty funny.

- I'd imagine a great deal of people managed to stay ahead of the curve, if you had your own vehicle and weren't stupid enough to rely on a train you would have put everything behind you with the dust.

- Trains rely on active signals, if the signals information cuts out then you are blind, you could hit the back of another train or derail at a corner or end up turning around and heading back to Philly.

- Lemons can be grown anywhere outside antarctica, and probably there too.
