Flight impossibility just emphasizes the fact that many of the available alternatives don't exist. Here in Lyon, it is still possible to get around on trains to your final destination (though many are very booked right now). However, any option over water just seems silly. There are virtually no transatlantic passenger ships or even routes across the mediterranean to Africa or the Middle East (I suppose Morocco is the exception).
There are a lot of places where train travel does not make sense because the population density is too low -- the distance from Lisbon to Helsinki is about the same as the distance from San Francisco to Chicago.
Of course this doesn't justify it not existing where it would make sense.
