TERRIFYING! Train Crashes After Landslide (Stonehaven Derailment) - DISASTER BREAKDOWN

[@DisasterBreakdown]

THERE HAS BEEN A UPDATE! September 7th 2023. from the BBC... "Network Rail has admitted a series of failings which led to the death of three people in a train derailment near Stonehaven in 2020. The company pleaded guilty to criminal charges at the High Court in Aberdeen". Network Rail admitted failing to impose a speed restriction, warn the driver that part of the track was unsafe, or ask him to reduce his speed. It also admitted a number of failures over the maintenance and inspection of drainage in the area, and in adverse and extreme weather planning".

I've been watching your videos, and enjoying them, but I do have a bit of content suggestion for you: Can you please do a video on this train accident (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eschede_train_disaster), I think your viewers will find it interesting. Overall, I really like your content :)

Hi michael,Always takes an incident like this to happen to highlight the failure that costs lives, so sad, but hopefully the industry will learn from this and avoid this kind of thing in the future by correct working procedures

[@kerravonsen2810]

@@jameshowe6057 If I've learned anything from watching disaster documentaries, it is that negligence is only ever temporarily eradicated; it always returns. People get lazy, greedy, overworked, underfunded - the reasons are many. And because the results of negligence are not immediate, it always gets worse until the sudden shock of a disaster causes people to toe the line again... until the next cycle of negligence begins. Human nature, alas.

[@cnafyi]

It seems very weird that given the existing known landslides the train wasn't told to run at reduced speed - if this was at 30MPH there may have been no deaths :(

[@beenaplumber8379]

The accident and fatality statistics she began the video with tell me that you and your colleagues working on the railways in Britain are doing an incredible job, and you deserve to be commended. And yeah, one lapse has the potential for tragedy, but I assume you have redundancies built into the system to protect against single-fault errors becoming catastrophes. Your safety record amazes me. People do have lapses because we're human, but a good robust system can handle that. Now if you have a lapse at the same time someone else has a lapse... best not to have any lapses I guess. But congratulations on your tremendous safety record! That tells me the system is excellent, and the individuals who work to keep that system running safely are doing their jobs with diligence.

[@moldyboy354]

You have a magical ability to tell these stories in a way that makes them feel important and impactful. It's natural to be desensitized to tragedies and go "oh, just another derailment, well, at least just 3 people died", but watching your videos reminds viewers that tragedies shouldn't be seen as mundane. Safety isn't mundane. Thank you Chloe!

Being a pilot I tend to be mostly interested in aircraft accident investigations however well researched train accidents, such as in this video, are interesting as well. Both aircraft and train accidents do in fact have one thing in common, major accidents occur due to a series of things going wrong before hand and not just one simple thing. Well done.

There was 1 piece of information that you missed. The driver & Conductor unfortunately passed away. The signaller did not know that the accident had happened. It was the off duty conductor that walked about 2 miles down the track to call for help because the nearest line side signller phone was broken. Apart from that, fantastic video

[@samanthal9114]

I lived in Aberdeen at the time, I had never seen a thunderstorm like the one we got that day. Torrential. Totally torrential rain. I ended up not being able to get into work (I worked in a medical lab) because I had to wade out of my apartment building. My friend at the time had been seconded to the lab in Dundee, I've never rang someone so hysterically before, literally screamed "tell me you weren't on that train" and their response, "the bus couldn't get to the station with the flooding so I missed the train." Never felt so much relief. As a born and bred Scot I'll tell you, it was BAD that day. Our hospital was put on alert, we were getting mass transfusion packs ready if they had to be sent at short notice etc. Then no one came. I remember standing there thinking "I can't tell if it was bad or good" thank christ we were in lockdown or that train would have been packed and many more people would have died.

[@RMedich]

Yep. I work in theatre in the Matty. I was first manager on scene when the roof came in on the postnatal ward. I managed to be at the front of the storm driving in and even then, the water was coming under my car door as I came through Dyce. Never seen anything like it. And then put on standby for the major incident… awful.

[@toolymcsnoothole]

i love that youve become so comfortable that you’re so able to add humour while still taking the incident itself very seriously kudos as always!!!

[@goonmaster9000]

Call me crazy, but I don't think tragic incidents involving the deaths of people are the right places for "humour". I also don't quite see what "comfort" has to do with anything? Its just poor writing, and immensely disrespectful. Also, I don't quite see the need for the lazy all-caps clickbait in the title, as well as the weather portion of the video which had absolutely zero reason to be "performed" and comes across as more of a self-driven excuse to come on camera for personal reasons rather than for the benefit of the video and viewer, or the story itself. If this is the way this channel is heading, ill be seeing myself out to be honest. Pretty noticeable drop in quality, as well as a clear shift in attitude (For the worse), as far as I'm concerned.

@mipmipmipmipmip it's the non-automotive word for a turbocharger, technically a turbo is a type of supercharger as "supercharger" actually just refers to anything that forces air into an engine whether it's turbine or belt driven. In automotive colloquialism the terms have become mutually exclusive so as to aid differentiation between belt and turbine driven superchargers, but outside the context of cars "turbosupercharger" is the proper term for a turbo

Given your ability to delve deeply into the matter, I hope that one day you will address these questions and finally find satisfactory answers to that mystery.

Chloe gets to talk about trains! And weather! Carillion sounds strangely familiar, I have a feeling they've been mentioned on WTYP :P

[@railfandepotproductions]

WTYP?

[@marinary1326]

@@railfandepotproductions "Well welcome to Well There's Your Problem, a podcast about engineering disasters, with slides." Leftist commentary, breakdowns, jokes, and wild tangents about a very broad definition of "engineering disaster". I believe Chloe's mentioned one of their episodes before when she made a video about an airplane accident that they had also covered.

@@marinary1326 thx for clarifying

[@andy70d35]

Chloe, great work as always, never a boring video, you always put so much effort into every one.

[@PokeMaster22222]

I like it when topics other than planes are covered; it gives some much-needed diversity.

[@ac9110]

Excellent as always Chloe. You can tell you put in a great deal of research on these sensitive pieces of work.

[@auntbarbara5576]

Yay a new DB! Happy Saturday everyone. Thank you dearly 😘

[@georgeclarke163]

Thank you for an excellent and detailed, if sad analysis of this incident. All delivered in your usual calm manner. Worth noting that no previous directors of Carillion have ever been called to account in court.

[@LoneSheWolf09]

Have you ever covered the Ladbroke train crash in London in 99 Chloe? You should’ve gone onboard the 41001 prototype HST when it was at ruddington few years ago before it got sent to Locomotion just hearing the valenta engine kick in & scream was amazing. You would’ve loved it.

[@DisasterBreakdown]

I have not.... yet. Testing out to see if people want to to see more rail videos

[@LoneSheWolf09]

@@DisasterBreakdownI’m very interested in watching your rail disaster videos was glued when you did the segment on Selby rail crash. Never realised so much of that happened I used to travel up/down that part of the railway line on weekly basis. Enjoyed that segment.

[@pixiholly]

@@DisasterBreakdown That would be excellent. You bring the same systematic, calm and respectful approach and your attention to detail is exemplary.

Love the weather report format! Great work.

Obsessed with the weather report. Love your videos so much Chloe!

[@DisasterBreakdown]

Thanks so much 😊

[@oidgiasinger]

I don't understand why such construction work does not have to be checked and approved by a state authority after completion. I can't imagine that the UK of all places doesn't have such a regulation. It was a great video. One of my favorits from your channel.

[@m.moolhuysen5456]

Please note that the current UK government is all about deregulation, and has been working at this viciously.

[@pyramidhead2874]

I am absolutely in love with this channel, thank you Chrloe for these quality videos! Love from Tunisia! :) PS: Love the weather section :D You should appear more in your videos :)

[@toms5996]

Thanks for always providing a very detailed explanations of any incident. Sometimes I wonder though for example one thing: trying to put all of our Nordic flights, trains 'treks', bus 'treks' and do a meta-analysis on the reliability on various parts of the world. It could be done now and would be interesting.

[@eldredsowell]

Well done Chloe. Excellent video. I live in Australia and these accident vids on air and rail disasters plus your excellent fire video are really interesting and very professional. Thankyou!.

[@tigerlily_t]

Thank you Chloe for another interesting and informative video! I particularly loved the return of the disaster breakdown weather report. Also your makeup is on point, you look great!

[@nyxqueenofshadows]

always happy to see more weather sections, and the details of this were explained really well! great video, as always!

Thank you :)

Finally a video which won't give me another thing to worry about in a plane

[@MichaelGarland]

Remarkable research and presentation. Very much appreciate your content.

[@DisasterBreakdown]

I was very happy with how this one turned out. Glad you liked it.

[@EdinMike]

My Da was a GM for the ECML for British Rail, Network Rail, Babcock Rail, Scots Rail… it went under so many name changes and divisions. And I remember how devastated he was with this accident. He retired a couple of years before this incident, but ended up helping for a couple of weeks with the incident.

[@eithiana1602]

I love your content! Keep going! This is very informative and respectful to those whom are lost. Keep up your amazingly work! ❤❤❤

Thanks for another very informative video Chloe❤❤👍 If possible then please try making a video on alliance air flight 7412 Patna crash as it is not covered very much.

Excellent video, Chloe! I am interested in both air and rail disaster analyses. I'm glad I found your channel.

[@amandag8629]

Cracked up at the X scene and that you put the twitter bird over it afterwards, thank you for the laugh in the middle of a sad video

[@maz9200]

One of the best yet, love the more documentary style, giving us context around what injustices have occurred that lead up to the point of disaster, giving us a better idea why these things happen. Keep up the excellent work. 💜

[@CoraVanLincolnius]

really intresting to watch! Hope youll cover more rail accidents in the future! I'd love if you cover the 2023 Voorschoten accident one day once investigations are done.

[@DisasterBreakdown]

If this video does well, I will certainly make more rail videos. Though the subjects of videos will still primarily be aviation

[@TheRealNatNat]

Fantastic investigative skills Chloé ! great video 😍

[@SomeGuyFromOK]

I absolutely LOVE the diversity of doing different modes of transportation. I’d love to hear about shipping disasters too!

Just found your channel, I have just retired from the railway after 35 years, 20 years as a Mobile Ops Manager on the East Coast Main Line so I found the very interesting and very well explained. Subbed

Heck yeah, more weather girl!!! It's such an insightful part of these videos.

[@TheTemporalAnomaly]

Excellent presentation, respectfully narrated as is the case with all your videos. On a lighter side note, you get a little extra recognition for the comment about Twitter.

Stumbled across your KZbin channel just subscribed. I've never watched such a clearly explained accident, no over dramatising. Very well done, I can't imagine the hours one video must take you. I will now be working my way through older videos. Ex
