True, but that Greg can't know how many people may die by not diverting the train was a big influence on my decision.

I realize that I assumed that Greg was not The Boss, but I'll stick to my guns here and say that I think he should make a phone call, since people are going to be injured or killed either way and he can't actually see what happened from his current vantage.

But there's only one minute for the decision to be made, how far is his phone conversation going to get before the decision has to be made by him and him alone? Beside, making a phone call isn't an option in this premise.

Doesn't matter. The point is, he's doing what he can to try to manage the situation.
