Driving 200 km/h sounds really scary to me. I did ride in a train in Germany once that probably went about that speed, but I couldn't see out of the window. About the movie set shooting. The sheriff said, at a press conference, that it was an actual lead bullet. So I was wrong, and Nick Thompson was right that someone on the movie set is effin nuts.
