    If that 1 person had a minigun, they could probably hold out a few good moments before they get swarmed

      I love the missing contextual steps in going from 1 person tied to a train track, to that person seemingly holding off a rapidly approaching train with a minigun while 1 million people attempt to escape.

        Oh I was talking about a bloodbath between 1 person vs 1 million people, but your interpretation is far more nobler and guarantees a heroic victory for everyone.

        I think you just solved the trolley problem.
