The driver is unconscious, possibly as the result of a heart attack. If nothing is done, all will die. The train will squash them. It’s travelling much too fast for them to get out of the way. There is, however, one hope. There is a fork in the tracks just before the five men, and on the other line there is only one worker. You are close enough to the points to flick the switch and make the train veer}, author = {Philippa Foot and Judith Jarvis Thomson}, bookauthor = {NIGEL WARBURTON}, booktitle = {A Little History of Philosophy}, pages = {222--227}, publisher = {Yale University Press}, title = {The Runaway Train and the Unwanted Violinist}, year = {2011} }
