Thats so sad😢i wish the disaster never happended

And, also, the actions of the train driver and fireman (who died in the crash) in trying to stop the train should be mentioned; had they not taken those actions, the whole train would have gone into the river...

Actually it is the worst disaster in New Zealand rail history. The second worst one is the Hyde crash which was (I think) 10 years earlier.

PLOT TWIST IT WAS THE WORK RAIL ACCIDENT IN NEW ZEALAND HISTORY :O

@@trajan231 Yes it was

thats because this happened in new zealand

I wish I was in the accident

Dont Worry, She Was In The Tenth Coach. I Think She Survived

@@jog4483did the tenth coach derail

Me: *the matter of brain cells of that girl not realizing that trying to stop a trade isn’t some exciting waving thing…!*

she lived

@@gunnarthefeisty no, she didn’t.

In real life only 1person died in the dangling car. They were trapped by luggage.

​@Narrator that's true, but was that 1 person who didn't make it Nerissa Love or someone else? Also how many people survived in the first 5 carriages that were dragged into the flood (the 2nd and 5th carriages were managed really badly, the first carriage was intact in some parts, third carriage had 1 half missing and the 4th one had some sets).

***** 😞 Yet I can't help but feel like a bastard, because I used a joke from a children's/family show for a movie scene that is based on a REAL train wreck disaster; the greatest, biggest disaster in all history of New Zealand.

*****​ The crash in the movie I know is usually made by models... But as I said earlier, "Based on a REAL train wreck disaster."

+gameoholic1994 well they have to use modles, they wouldn't wreck a priceless locomotive a movie, better than using CGI

@@connorjohnson7834 yes but how about the real people

don’t feel bad, it’s called exprert dark humor

In what way was KA 949 damaged beyond repair and that they decided to scrap it instead of fixing it?

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.

A FM Guard van was also a mistake on the train scenes, the FM class guard van was introduced into nz back in the 1970's

Oof

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.

......and it was Christmas eve!

STOP THE TRAIN STOP THE TRAIN. Little girl: HELLO! 😁

and she was in the bAck of the carrages that stopped before it reached the water.

EXPRESS COMING THROUGH- OH NO!!!

EXPRESS COMING THRU... OH SH***

I’m a express agent I don’t go- *AAAAAAHHHHHH-*

I used to have the DVD

That’s crazy 💀🙏

Same😂

Same

How so?

Thats ture

I know

+JoelJag 942 please in make the video again but a prodey where tank from dinosaur king tries to stop the train clips like when seth sees the train in trouble he sommens tank to try and stop it and when the train nears the broken bridge he will say its no good come back! inperst only for me

+Aydan Bentley its on the ep trains planes and dinosaurs

+Aydan Bentley Yea...That an't happening

Your right

+Sgc 382 And yet not one of them made a difference.

+Sgc 382 Sorry to "Brake" It to you but, There was only 1 brake lever.. The rest was all the locomotives main driving wheels been set in reverse.. This accident was a horrible one and both driver and fireman did what they could to prevent it :-(

+Sgc 382 One was the handbrake, one was the vacuum brake and the rest was setting the locomotive into reverse to provide as much resistance as possible. Sadly, the momentum is the killer.

Yeah, Wheels must have gone faster than blue peter in order to slow the train down

Do you realize how many passengers died on that wreck

@@Zecxrity Yeah, 151... it's not like in typical Hollywood movies when a train crashes, people dying in the wreck usually isn't a big deal, like in "Super 8."

Even if the cab was at the front, it wouldn’t have made a difference Trains can’t stop quickly, due to the lack of friction between the wheels and the rails, so it was going in no matter what

“TITANIC” stole the awards that rightfully belong to “MR. MAGOO”.

156 people died. 130 people survived

@@trajan231 actually 151 died

But 11 of the bodies were washed out to sea, never to be recovered at all.

He was trying to get there attention.

@@thewillofabeast9079 but they did not know what he ment

@fran mansilla yea

FNAF king it was at Christmas too

You think trains could slow down fast like a fucking car even with emergency? And what even the fuck is a S.O.S?

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

They were coming off the tracks no matter what.

Are you dumb? Trains cant stop on a dime. There's a saying if you think a train will stop when it sees a car on the tracks. You're right, but only a mile *after* it hits you. So shut your dumb mouth.

The real train was traveling at about 60km/h when it got to the bridge, and the locomotive actually did end up crashing into the far bank of the river

I did read somewhere that when the engine was examined, the brakes were applied. This means that the crew saw the bridge was out, but they were too late to stop the train.

151 people

Pompous Catfish that was how close they really were when the crew realised what had happened

It wasn't there fault, man. They couldn't understand what he was saying. Plus, some people do that when there crazy.

Nope. They were doomed. Even if the train braked when it saw the man it wouldve been too late.

It depends on the pressure you give into the tug of the whistle.

Portrayed by Mainline Steams preserved and at the time, operational Ka 942

Would have gone in no matter what the crew did

This is real life. Get with it

Nagwan El Gamal 151 out of the 285 passengers died from the crash :/

If I had twice the size of a gap between me and the train as the guy in this movie scene yelling to stop the train, and if I, especially, had a red lantern shining bright (yes, red for "danger" or "stop"), I'm sure that WOULD help stop the train sooner than in the film.

It was so sudden, and all he had was a torch, which looks like a flashlight. He was just trying to get there attention.

Hi

Ok

They can get tighter at a certain point

The Whangaehu River actually runs parallel to the track just before the Tangiwai bridge. So the engineer could've seen the lahar and slammed on the brakes. Which is actually as it really happened.

@@trajan231 i see...well that time i was a kid LOL

It may be from 'Tangiwai: A Love Story'

+DoctorFosterGloster Thanks !

+DoctorFosterGloster you are correct

+Scott Ewing The full movie is available on TVNZ on demand, keyword Tangiwai

+Logan Johnston Cheers, Bro :)

Actually its 1953

Wellington to Auckland express

Josie Mea no, New Zealand actually. However, the locomotive does look British

i ride the train at british than crash 😢

No because this was before us Brits exported a load of Mark 2F air conditioned carriages to New Zealand! They will see plenty of use even in this second life as they are well engineered.

that was me when i was 5

Tangiwai: A Love Story :

Yes The scene pulling out of the station. In the dark traveling along and the wreak was done with large models being pulled by a car

Might actually be Ka 945 as thats a North Island based engine

@@trajan231 No. Ka945 hasn't steamed since 1995. 942 was based in Plimmerton at the time this was filmed.

You Know This Was Real Right? The Event The Movie Was Models But Its Based Off A Real Thing....Sad

Why is it funny?!?! He saw the little girl waving at him, when trying to stop the train. My heart dropped.
