Kings biggest problem is that he doesnt know how to finish a book...I think the ending of Thinner was just a masterpiece
Maybe they are trying to protect the kids from a book with a depiction of a preteen train being pulled on the girl in the group?

I'm going to presume it's same principals as airplane travel. Once you're in the air, there's pretty much nothing that you can interact with except weather and air pockets. Collisions between planes are almost non existent. The most dangerous aspects of flight are take off and landing: if you're going to have an accident, chances are its during those procedures. My uncle died in Mexico City when his plane landed on an incorrect runway in 1979. If you're afraid of flying, like me, just focus on the fact that you are very VERY unlikely to have some kind of catastrophic mechanical failure while in the air.
Now let's extrapolate that to space travel. Once you're in space, there's very little to interact with, even less than airplane travel. Space is largely empty...that's why it's called space.
Why everyone thinks space travel is dangerous, when in reality, it's far more vast then you can imagine.
Ironically, the two space shuttle disasters, Challenger and Columbia, occurred during takeoff and reentry/landing respectively.
Even during the Apollo program, the only fatalities were from a test procedure for Apollo 1 caused by mechanical failure that started a fire.

the story isnt bad, its pretty simple actually. i more or less have issue with how well they depicted the guy in the film. i think they did too good a job on the makeup. i dunno how you ddnt think The Running Man was the best Bachman book. its nothing like the movie cept the concept and the character names. King also somehow managed to predict 2 future events in his Bachman books, the Rage story and the end scene of The Running Man story.Thinner was my favorite thing ever written by King, who I am normally not really a fan of

I’d imagine they are also there to help reduce ragging of storm water pumps.i never seen this around here in NJ. anyone else?
They install filters in the sewers on roadside to prevent garbage from reaching rivers.
