Tsar Nicholas II is traveling from Moscow to St. Petersburg
Tsaar Nicolaas II reist van Moskou naar St. Petersburg
on a non-stop training moving at 60 miles per hour.
in een non-stop trein die met 60 mijl per uur voortbeweegt.
This was obviously before he was shot in the Urals,
Dit was duidelijk voordat hij in de Oeral neergeschoten was,
which would bring a tear to anyone's eye.
wat iedereen aan het huilen zou brengen.
Still, it could have been worse.
Maar toch, het had erger kunnen zijn.
He could have been hung by the Bolsheviks.
Hij had door de Bolsjewieken opgehangen kunnen worden.
At the same moment, another train leaves
Op hetzelfde moment vertrekt er een andere trein
St. Petersburg for Moscow at 40 miles per hour.
vanuit St. Petersburg naar Moskou, met een snelheid van 40 mijl per uur.
I don't know who's on this one.
Ik weet niet wie hierin zit.
Let's say it's the bloke who invented Tetris.
Laten we zeggen dat het de vent is die Tetris heeft uitgevonden.
How far apart are the trains
Hoever zijn de treinen van elkaar verwijderd
one-hour before they pass each other?
één uur voordat ze elkaar passeren?
