    Episode 24- Runaway Train: Canadian Edition
    On the early morning hours of July 6, 2013, an unmanned freight train carrying tons of crude oil derails in a small Canadian province flattening its downtown area and killing 47 people. Investigators find loads of crucial evidence from the railroad's operating culture to its safety regulations that could have caused one of Canada's worst rail disaster in recent years.

    This happened in my Province, Quebec, Canada. All the province was in shook when we saw this. I remember where I was, when it was and what I was doing when this happened. To this day it fears me. Thank you for making the sole wreck of my province.

    Why aren't train brakes where they are applied without air pressure. Trucks have it why not trains

    • @gm16v149
      @gm16v149 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Because trucks use spring brake chambers which are normally set and require air pressure to release. They require two air lines and are quite complicated. Trains use a single brake line (train pipe) to control the brakes, which is a lot simpler when you you’ve got multiple cars behind a locomotive. The downside is that once you lose air pressure in the cars’ air tanks, the brakes release. That’s why the cars have mechanical hand brakes which are supposed to be wound on if you stop on a grade and don’t have guaranteed air pressure, like in this case when the train is stopped overnight with no one on board the locomotives.

      Here are the worst rail disasters:
      1. On Fire at High Speed (El Ayyat Rail Disaster)
      2. Off the Bridge : Ethiopian Edition (Awash Rail Disaster)
      3. Runaway Train : Spanish Edition (Torre del Bierzo Rail Disaster)
      4. Death by Asphyxiation / Final Destination (Balvano Rail Disaster)
      5. Critical Mass (Ufa Rail Disaster)
      6. Into the Ravine (1915 Guadalajara Rail Disaster)
      7. Into the River / Washed Away (Bihar Rail Disaster)
      8. Runaway Train : Romanian Edition (Ciurea Rail Disaster)
      9. Runaway Train : French Edition (Saint Michel de Maurienne derailment)
      10. Tsunami Tumble (Peraliya Train Tsunami / 2004 Sri Lanka Tsunami Train Wreck)

    • @kevinthesublime2317
      @kevinthesublime2317 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      1. On Fire at High Speed (El Ayyat Rail Disaster (Arabic:))
      Type: Fire
      Cause: Explosion of a gas cylinder, overcrowding and lack of communication are also factors
      Deaths : Disputed, 383 (official) - 1000+? (unofficial)
      Locomotive : ?
      At 2:00 in the morning of 20 February 2002, a gas cylinder exploded on an eleven-carriage train from Cairo to Luxor, causing a fire that destroyed seven third-class carriages. The official death toll was 383, but was considered inaccurate due to the fact that the passenger list was missing and the carriages were carrying at least double their capacity. It is the largest train accident in Egyptian history.
      2. Off the Bridge : Ethiopian Edition (Awash Derailment (Ethiopian:))
      Type : Derailment
      Cause : Overspeeding
      Deaths : 428
      Locomotive : ?
      On January 13, 1985, a five-car express train derailed on a curving bridge in Awash, Ethiopia. The derailment killed at least 428 people. It is the worst rail accident in Ethiopia and Africa.
      3. Runaway Train : Spanish Edition (Torre del Bierzo Rail Disaster (Spanish: Accidente Ferroviario Torre del Bierzo))
      Type : Collision
      Cause : Defective brakes (first collision) and broken signal (second collision)
      Deaths : Disputed, 78 (official), 100+ (most recent research), 200-250 (unofficial), 500-800+? (recent sources and Guinness World Record)
      Locomotive : RENFE Class 240 (Galicia mail), ? (Shunting Locomotive), RENFE Class 151 (coal) (The coal train locomotive is still preserved in a museum)
      On 3 January 1944, at Torre del Bierzo in Spain, a mail and express train lost its brakes and became a runaway, later crashing into a shunting engine at Tunnel no. 20. Due to a broken signal caused by the first collision, a coal train later crashed into the wreckage, causing a huge two-day fire. The Francoist authorities stated that 78 people died, however this was believed to be inaccurate. Sources from the time believed that 200 - 250 people were killed due to the train concerned, Galicia Mail, was carrying a lot of passengers for the holidays. The Guinness World Record even stated the probably exaggerated 500 - 800+ deaths. Nevertheless, it is still one of the worst rail accidents in Spanish history.
      4. Final Destination / Lost in Transit / The Black Market Express (Balvano Rail Disaster (Italian: Disastro di Balvano/Sciagura del Treno 8017)
      Type : Mass asphyxiation
      Cause : Bad coal, slippery rails, overloading, the tunnel's lack of ventilation, among many other factors
      Deaths : Disputed, 517 (officially, some sources say 521)-600+
      Locomotives : FS class 480, FS class 476
      On the night between 2-3 March 1944, train no. 8017 stalled in the Armi Tunnel in Balvano, Italy. The train could not go on due to slippery rails, overloading by illegal passengers and rumoured bad coal. The coal produced lots of carbon monoxide that filled the tunnel, killing most of the passengers. It is the worst rail accident in Italy, one of the worst rail disasters, and the most bizarre of its kind.
      5. Critical Mass (Ufa Rail Disaster (Russian:))
      Type : Explosion
      Cause : Faulty gas pipeline creating a cloud of explosive gas, which ignited. The cause of ignition is probably sparks from the trains' wheels or pantograph, or a passenger's cigarette, among many other factors
      Deaths : 575+ (unofficial sources speak of 645 - 780 deaths)
      Locomotives : VL10 and ChS2
      On 4 June 1989, a cloud of gas produced from a faulty pipeline, ignited when two trains passed each other near Ufa, Russia. The trains were carrying children and holidaymakers. The explosion burned the surrounding trees, seen from many kilometers away, and destroyed both trains with a power rumored to be equal to an a-bomb. It is the worst rail accident in Soviet and Russian history, notwithstanding the obscure 1944 Vereshchyovka Wreck.
      6. Into the Ravine (1915 Guadalajara Rail Disaster (Spanish: Accidente Ferroviario Jalisco)
      Type : Derailment
      Cause : Overloaded train and defective brakes, rumoured sabotage also likely
      Deaths : 600+
      Locomotives : ?
      During the Mexican Revolution of 1915, a train carrying families of troops lost control and fell into a ravine in Guadalajara, killing most of the passengers aboard. This resulted in the worst rail accident in North America and Mexico.
      7. Into the River / Washed Away : Indian Edition (Bihar Rail Disaster (Hindi:))
      Type : Derailment
      Cause : Unknown (Either a cyclone, a flash flood, or a COW), slippery rails and defective brakes might have been factors
      Deaths : Disputed, 235 (offcial), 500-800? (unofficial)
      Locomotive : ?
      On 6 June 1981, an overloaded train derailed on a bridge and plunged into the Bhagmati River in Bihar, India. The carriages and its passengers quickly sank as the river was above its normal levels due to the monsoon season. The disaster is not widely documented, even the cause of the disaster is not known. There are at least three theories about the cause of the disaster, with the most famous one being a COW. Notwithstanding the cause, it is the worst rail accident in India.
      8. Runaway Train : Romanian Edition (Ciurea Rail Disaster (Romanian: Catastrofa feroviara de la Ciurea))
      Type : Derailment
      Cause : Unknown, because there is no known investigation (most likely a broken brake pipe due to overloading, exacerbated by the rumoured accidental closure of the broken brake pipe)
      Deaths : Disputed, 500-600 (best estimates), 800-1000+? (most recent sources)
      Locomotives : CFR 456 and ?
      The Ciurea Catastrophe happened on 13 January 1917, as Romania was losing WW1. In this not well documented disaster, an overloaded train became a runaway, then derailed and burst into flames after crashing into tanker cars at Ciurea station, maiming and burning the passengers. This is the worst rail accident in Romania.
      9. Runaway Train : French Edition / Derailment of the Century (Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne Derailment (French: Acident/Catastrophe Ferroviaire Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne)
      Type : Derailment
      Cause : Overloading and defective brakes
      Deaths : 675 (700 officially) - 1000+
      Locomotive : PLM class 230
      On 12 December 1917, a runaway troop train derailed in Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne and caught fire. It would become France's worst rail accident ever.
      10. Watery Graves/ Washed Away : Sri Lankan Edition / Crash of the Century (Peraliya Train Tsunami (Tamil:))
      Type : Washout
      Cause : 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami
      Deaths : Unknown exact numbers, estimated 900?, 1700+ - 2000+(probably)
      Locomotive : M2a class (a G12)
      On 26 December 2004, the train Queen of the Sea and the village of Peraliya in Sri Lanka were swept away by the 2004 tsunami. With an estimated 1700+ deaths, it is the worst rail disaster of all time.
