Selby rail crash: 2001 disaster remembered

 

 

The Selby rail crash สล็อต ได้เงินจริง รับโบนัส 100% remains the worst UK rail disaster of the 21st century. Ten men died and more than 80 people were seriously injured when two trains collided, the first thrown into the other's path by a Land Rover which had plummeted on to the East Coast Main Line after its driver fell asleep. Ahead of a memorial service 20 years on, survivors, bereaved relatives and others directly affected by events in the North Yorkshire village of Great Heck have shared their memories of the crash.

 

"You know, there was a train crash this morning that involved dad's train.

 

"I've got to tell you that your daddy's dead, and you won't see him again."

 

Five hours before Mary Dunn found herself having to break the worst possible news to her sons, she had been awoken by the sound of sirens.

 

It was the morning of 28 February 2001. She switched on her television and saw the wreckage of a freight train lying on its side near the M62 outside Selby.

 

At the same scene, a GNER InterCity 225 had derailed, parts of its front carriages crushed. The service had departed Newcastle on time at 04:45 GMT. Ninety-nine people were on board, many of whom had got on about 12 minutes earlier at York.
