A super train is moving along a track at a speed close to the speed of light. you are watching the train from the ground. you observe lightning to strike in two places along the track, a mile apart, at precisely the same time. what would someone on the train say?

the people in the train will say that it super fast, because the speed of light is about 186,411 mile / s, so a mile will only took 0.0000054 s to travel it. so it is super fast and i think the people boarding the train might suffer physically due to intensity of the force applied to their body
