Very good video. I was a baby when this tragic accident happened. I lived very close to the site. My Father was employed within British Railways and attended the accident shortly after it happened. This was a continuous sound of sirens and a news flash on Television. He wouldn’t talk about it much in later years but if he did you could tell it still haunted him because of the horrific scenes he witnessed . Also as he was involved in the Management side of the Railway he had his own opinions on what happened and why . It was and always will be one of the most disturbing Accidents within the later half of the 20th Century
