Train don't run outta Wichita

[G✇JI☈A]

One of my favourites of all time ..

But here are some nitpicks:

Even if Neil did get a cab, there is no way Neil would have got from Manhattan to JFK in under an hour in rush hour. La Guardia maybe (it’s not clear which airport was heading to, his ticket says JFK but the airport he goes to looks more like La Guardia) but it would be cutting close.

The trains (passenger ones) do run out of Wichita.. they have there own Union Station, and they probably did not think of it at the time but there is also a bus station that Amtrak runs coaches from.

A snow storm that large would have forced the cancellation of the NY to Chicago flight before it even took off.

Neil walked back to the car rental place at St Louis Airport .. while it did have that awesome visual of him walking across a runway with a landing plane going by.. he could of just waited for another airport shuttle to come back to the rental lot… they run quite frequently.

But anyway awesome film.. some logical sacrifices do need to be made to advance the story .

the problem wasn't ultimately the time since the flight was delayed. the problem was that he A) was nearly killed when he tripped over Del's trunk and a car almost ran over his head, and B) paid $75 for a cab that he didn't get because Del stole it

the Union Station stopped running people trains in 1979 (don't know if they still use it for hogs & cattle)

It's my Thanksgiving tradition as well. A lot of scenes take me back to my childhood, like Wichita in the morning reminds me so much of early mornings growing up in Northern Michigan, as well as the smoky cafes and greasy spoon diners. Just thinking about it, I can taste the toast and hash browns.
