概要
The morning a 570-tonne bridge collapsed on top of two crushed carriages, rescue crews lowered a portable generator only to have it flattened when the bridge moved again - the disaster kept happening while people were still alive. How did fifteen seconds, altered carriages and extra concrete turn a routine commute into Australia’s worst rail tragedy, and why did survivors die beneath a bridge that hadn’t finished falling?
In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from departure at Mount Victoria to the collapse under Bold Street Bridge, outlining the damaged carriages, the overloaded bridge and the rescue efforts that continued as the structure shifted - and ask how those factors combined to make rescue impossible.
Date: 18 January 1977
Location: Bold Street Bridge, Granville, western Sydney
Event: Granville rail disaster
Deaths: 83 (plus one unborn child added in 2017)
Injuries: 213
