Description:

From political violence and deadly bombings to suspicious packages, smoke-filled tunnels, and mass evacuations, Montreal's Metro has repeatedly found itself at the center of major emergencies. In this episode of Crash Lessons, we explore the FLQ bombing campaign, the 1984 Central Station bombing, the security changes brought by 9/11, and the modern incidents that continue to bring parts of the Metro to a halt.

Some threats were real. Others were false alarms. But each one revealed an important lesson about emergency response, public fear, and how quickly uncertainty can spread beneath a city.
