4:05 710A, 29900V = 21.229MW ?
Later they mention 800A, so the train uses some 24-25MW when running at around 500km/h
That is a HELL of a lot of power. (24MW is approx 32000 hp)

@thomaswinzy no:
45 years of existence Japonese TGV : 0 Death 1 derailment (cause : earthquake)
30 years of existence French TGV : 0 Death 3 derailment. one at 294kmh only 10 slightly injured person(tgv have an articulated system, people are safe even in case of derailment at very hight speed)
compare to:
40 Year and only for American Airlines :1100 death.

@Peter43John I know, seriously. America should stop spending billions of dollars bombing some of the poorest countries in the world.
Rail is probably a lot safer than air, too.
