Product 4/4
In December 1991, two passenger trains collided in the 6.5km long tunnel under the River Severn in England. 185 people were injured. Rescuers did not reach the train until 2 hours after the incident. Three safety procedures fell like dominoes. Communication efforts were confusing and incorrect, compounding the situation. Decision making authority among emergency services complicates rescue attempts. Approximate running time: 30 minutes
