RMweb Premium jjb1970 Posted April 22, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 22, 2018 One of the biggest shocks to me was seeing Richard Wells on the show, I know him pretty well and in the time I've known him I had no idea he'd been involved in this disaster. Funny how you can know somebody and not know stuff like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkingian Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 There's a much better documentary in National Geographic's "Seconds from Disaster" series called "Wreck of the Sunset Limited". In contrast to the over-dramatised mystery of Medical Detectives, this 45 minute programme makes clear the obvious cause, which was a bridge originally designed to swing, without stops but with CWR laid across it, which was then knocked out of alignment by a barge which had taken a wrong turning in fog. Sadly, it the train had been running to time, it would have reached the bridge before the barge. The programme hasn't always been accessible in the UK, but is currently here: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4i17ve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
