Runaway Train

Runaway Train

If you like train wrecks, then Runaway Trains is for you. Produced by the Learning Channel, this "educational" production pretends to instruct us about train safety, but really it's all about re-creating the most horrific train accidents of the 20th century. Of course, none of these accidents were ever caught on camera, so the folks at TLC have digitally re-created them for our morbid viewing pleasure. Nonetheless, it's hard not to look away when they describe the worst train wreck ever: a Scottish express, speeding to make up for lost time, ploughed into a crowded London commuter train sitting at the London station. As if that wasn't bad enough, mere seconds later another train coming from the opposite direction crashed into the cars--filled with wounded passengers--that had been knocked onto the adjoining tracks. If this sounds interesting, then all aboard! --Kristian St. Clair
