By making the train divert it gives more time for the victims to potentially escape/be rescued, and slows it down since it has to go around the bend, potentially making the impact less fatal.

...

At least, that's what I'll be telling the cops with an extra $100 in my pocket.

with a turn like that it'll likely derail and save everyone's.

But then it kills the six passengers

good.

There are 6 passengers and non of them reached for the emergency breaks?

The emergency brake was replaced with a lever which would activate a bomb under your lever. All six chose to preserve your life instead of their own.

It will fall on the lever guy. Checkmate atheists.

now history will remember the lever guy as a true hero. cherishes by all. not as a cunt who tried to make 100$ from a tragedy.
