My Dad was in the rescue party he was a forestry worker at Kariori he didn't like to talk about it.. some years ago I met an older man on a suburban train that left Wgtn we got talking and he said he left his girlfriend at Wgtn Railway Station and kissed her good bye she was in the front carriage of the train disaster. I went home and shed a tear.😔

I don't know if the movie mentions this, but, after the crash, and with the sixth passenger car teetering on the edge of the bridge, Cyril Ellis (the person shown here waving the torch), along with a train guard, William Inglis, went into that car to try and save the passengers. While they were in the car, the car tumbled off the bridge and the two men, with the assistance of a passenger, John Holman, smashed the car's window and managed to save 23 of the 24 passengers in that car; Ellis and Inglis truly deserved any acclaim they got after that Christmas Eve...

The one thing that they got wrong in this movie is the bridge collapse, in the clip the flood washes put the pillars and the deck falls in. In the real event, the pillars got washed out but the deck held itself up, then collapsed underneath the train
@GNRLKNB-kq9ge4 жыл бұрын
They didn't really have a choice. The crash was done using model trains, which would have been no where near heavy enough to cause the bridge to collapse. They could've put weights in them, thats true. But it all would've had to have been done in one take because making the bridge collapse on a model train layout is a lot harder to fix than you think. Also, the tracks are made out of different types of metals depending on the brand, so even if the got everything set up, theres no guarantee the tracks would break because it is pretty hard to break them. The most that would likely happen is the train would simply lose balance upon crossing the bridge and topple over the side instead of the tracks collapsing beneath. So it was a better choice just to have the bridge be knocked out completely for the scene as they could do it over as many times as they wish, without too many prior preparations to be done.

That's right because one of the piers was damaged by a lahar back in 1926 or 1945 (I think) and it meant the bridge wasn't gonna survive if another lahar occurred. Yeah so what happened was the pier bridge broke and when the train got there the bridge gave way and collapsed and the engine and first five carriages were dragged into the flood and the 6th carriage was teetering on the edge of the bridge for a few seconds or a min and then that too fell into the flood soon after.

It’s sad when you realize that even if the driver had seen the man waving and tried to stop it still would have ended in the same disaster because a train going that fast and pulling that much weight would slide on the tracks for a long while because of the weight of the cars pushing the train forward and the momentum it had already built before coming to a full stop. It makes the man’s effort to want them all the more futile and tragic

Vince, it takes well over a mile for a train traveling at 60 miles per hour to stop. The reason trains don't get up to speed or stop quickly is due to both weight, drag, momentum, and friction. Hundreds of tonnes traveling at highway speeds on metal-on-metal caster wheels won't be able to stop nearly quickly enough to avoid disaster Thats just my opinion anyway

Movies love showing trains sailing through the air like that. I don't know how fast that train was moving in real life but I doubt the locomotive went that far before hitting the water. I am curious how fast it was really going when it left the bridge, as the report stated the sanders were on for more than 100 yards before where it left the rails, so either the crew saw the bridge was out or saw that guy with the 'torch' trying to signal them of the same.
