    The University of British Columbia engineering department did that like 15 or 20 years ago. They may have released a bunch of their information that might be useful for when you retire.

    Sounds like a great plan

    Better now probably, it was ahead of its time. It's much more poignant now after the flood of superhero movies.

    Edit: Oops I accidentally watched it again. I started it for funsies waiting for the second it got boring to stop, and oops. Watch this movie, it's really good.

    I think more like 12-15. 6 or 7 on a bench along both sides facing each other in the back plus 2 up front, three if it's a bench seat.
