Gripping forensic tales explain how and why trains crash. Trains
are massive-with some weighing 15,000 tons or more. When these
metal monsters collide or go off the rails, their destructive power
becomes clear. In this book, George Bibel presents riveting tales
of trains gone wrong, the detective work of finding out why, and
the safety improvements that were born of tragedy. Train Wreck
details numerous crashes, including 17 in which more than 200
people were killed. Readers follow investigators as they sift
through the rubble and work with computerized event recorders to
figure out what happened. Using a mix of eyewitness accounts and
scientific explanations, Bibel draws us into a world of forensics
and human drama. Train Wreck is a fascinating exploration of *
runaway trains * bearing failures * metal fatigue * crash testing *
collision dynamics * bad rails
