A weird position. People were stuck on a train. The train is warm and has light. You can release people off of the stck train but then they are outside in the heavy snow and cold. If they get injured due to cold, snow, or even by another train, who is at fault.

But, yep, they needed to have started the point heaters earlier.

We shouldn't be mocking their culture.
We should be adopting it for our own CEOs.
