A safety system that shuts down the other safety systems for runaway trains. Amazing.
-
Imagine being the person who hit the emergency breaks not know you made it out alive, but might have also doomed others unintentionally.
-
As soon as i saw the screenshot i knew it was Gar de Lyon,i saw seconds from disaster.
-
I mean, props to the conductor who assumed the worst and moved people back. The rest of the situation sucks but that's at least something to remember.
-
Airbrakes are designed the way they are for a reason. Braking is the default and you actively have to have air pressure to let go of the brakes.
-
Reminds me of the PRR's runaway in DC. From what I remember, one of their named passenger trains, the Federal, crashed into the station after the air brake valves on one of the coaches closed, resulting in only three of the coaches having brake power.
-
Fear sinks in, blood freezing like ice. Just the thought of being in a runaway train is scary.
-
I used to take trains and subways regularly and it would never occur to me a catastrophic event like this might have happened. 😮
-
Electric brakes causing excessive wear on brake shoes? They don't use the brake shoes, only the trains motors to retard the speed. To me there was a lot of blame put on the driver of this train, whereas his lack of knowledge of basic emergency procedures could largely be blamed on management of the railway operator. What level of training is given to drivers, and where are the regular refresher courses given so that they retain proficiency?
-
Desperately seeking a scapegoat for obvious failings of the state owned railway is the most french thing I can imagine.
-
These videos scare me but i still like them
-
this is very similar to the Accident happend here in Örlikon with SBB, in Train Driver scool we learned about it and since then we are Obligated to do Break Checks after departing from Stations.
-
Imagine Odile Mirroir (She pulled that break) that she partly responsible for death of 56 people. How would you deal with that?
-
Secondary brake was available but not used or unknown to them, what kind of training (pun not intended) is this?
-
It always amazes me how people working, which make mistakes, get jail time but managers and CEO of companies which ignore safety for profit just have to pay some money.
-
Just the thought of being in a runaway train is scary.
-
Your videos are awesome!
-
I can just listen to you talk you hours. Ty for another vid
-
Very good reportage……hello….I am from Belgium but I never heard about that story well thanks for the info. ( like always like your work ) .
-
When he ran out of the carriage, you said "they" ran out. I thought all the passengers ran out.
