Wow! Incredible!
-
When the driver's engine was recovered it was discovered the throttle was open and no attempt was made to brake, suggesting there was no pre-warning that the bridge was about to fall. The engine went back into service and was known to all railwaymen as "The Diver".
-
The Bridge is Down by Andre Gren is also a very good book about the disaster and one of the most recent.
-
@capodicino even better, get "The High Girders" from John Prebble

The effects in this docuentary Are badass! but if I were in 1879 in a train I'd Smash the train door open with a sledgehammer (if i tried)

Thnaks for posting this! I've wanted to see this film for years - Ian Rintoul actually made it in 1967 (I'm not sure why the video says 'Copyright 2003' at the start) and he made a name for himself with what were said to be (I'm going on what I've read, until now I'd not seen any) very good short documentary films in the 1970s and 1980s, which he made in his garage. Funnily enough, one of his helpers was Stephen Begg who is now a big name in miniature visual effects.

very good, I liked this :)

Interesting attempt to recreate this terrible disaster. For the complete story read L.T.C. Rolts book, Red for Danger.
