• How many buses could stop a train?

So, imagine if you lined up buses on a train track (these are school buses). How many would it take to stop a train?
26 buses.
I have a feeling OP is going to line some school buses filled with children and see how many of them die.
Depends on the train, you wont expect 5 buses is gonna stop a godamm megalev.
Depends on how good the buses are with deplomatic skills so that they can convince the train to stop.

nothing can, the train even kills ubercharged dudes
well I chose 10,000 so [i]over 9,000[/i]
over 9000 :downs: [editline]13th November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=nemmises5;26035462]well I chose 10,000 so [i]over 9,000[/i][/QUOTE] oh, fuck you ninja! pirates rule.

My bus :smug:
[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poomuKzSGZA[/url] Look at that. I would guess it would take 100 buses
in reality as flimsy as a bus is? and depending on the angle you hit it. IT would probably around 30 if you went through the middle and, 15 if you hit it head on also depends on speed of train

Did you know you can derail a train with a rolled up coat [editline]13th November 2010[/editline] So if you can derail a train with a coat, I'm pretty sure you'd only need 1 bus.
since you didn't ask for the minimum number of buses it would require to stop the train, I'm going to say that 10,000,000,000,000,000 buses could stop a train
I have a feeling under 10 could probably derail the train thus rendering it unable to move.

I'm sure you would need some buses [img]http://www.steamlocomotive.com/bigboy/bigbigboy.jpg[/img]

You're not specific enough, OP. For some trains, 2 or 3 buses would be enough. For other trains (especially ones with 100-200 tons of cargo behind it) it would take 15-20. So, what type of train, how much cargo and what speed, OP?
You fail to specify weight and velocity of the train, and the weight and construction of the targets.

This is ridiculous.
It's like the OP is going to be in that new shitty movie.
If it's one of those beastly trains (freight train or steam locomotive) it would definitely take more than 10 school buses (those shitty buses made out of what? Tin cans?). I'll just say 100, it might take less but it's definitely not 10.
