Comment on Hyperloop Gets Test Track in CaliforniaparentComments−Alchi11yI would not call it gradually rising. Pods would be moving at huge speeds and then hit viscuos fluid (compared with vacuum) It would be like hitting a wall. Pod should be constructed like supersonic jet to avoid crash.−geon11yLet's say the break is 20 miles away. There is no way all that air would reach you instantly. It would take some time. Several minutes even?
