The Physics Behind "Unstoppable"

Unstoppable!

Can you determine if the movie's claim of destruction is actually true?  It's a simple math problem.





The video clip includes help from a professor who will walk you through the process.  You will need to find the SPEED OF AN AVERAGE CARGO TRAIN and include the mass of the train from the professor's clip.

After analyzing, will the train "blow up a whole city" as advertised?  He also states that this is "just a simple math problem" which confirmed to me, "Yes, math is everywhere!"
