You are beside a lever, a lever that controls train tracks, a train is heading straight, and the lever turns the train 45 degrees to the right. On the main train track, there are 5 people ahead(workers) and they have no idea that there is a train heading right for them! If that lever isn't pulled they WILL die. However, if you pull the lever, you can switch the trains tracks 45 degrees to the right, and the 5 people are safe, BUT, there is one person there ON the train tracks and he too also has no idea the train is coming.
Would you pull the lever, saving 5 lives and losing 1, or would you not touch the lever and let those 5 people die by the train?

That's a strange scene but if i had the opportunity to decide the destiny of this people i choose to safe the 5 workers which would be the minor damages
