I haven't seen this since it first aired and have been wanting to so much. Thank you.

This movie is just heart breaking 💔 all those people lost their lives and their families are not going to forget about it 😢 😢😢😢😢

New South Wales USED to be well known for corruption. This movie is a prime example of that.

I was 7 years old and in the car with my mum. I remember clearly on the radio when the accident happened. This was very emotional to watch. Rest in peace ⚘️

Imagine someone telling you that your children lives are only worth $1000 each…..

When I worked in the city, I travelled on that line every day. I always remembered going through Granville. I got very emotional watching this. The acting was superb. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for putting this up.

The new Wran labor govt did not have enough time to fix many years of LCP govt neglect of the NSW public transport system.

Rip teddy. Edward the ward sisters and Bryan Gordon ❤❤❤❤❤❤ .

When rats and Heroes ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks for the upload!

Rewatching on the 47th anniversary today 18th January 2024

I went to school with one of the girls My brother specialised in rescue after that...

Am sorry 😔 Debbie

R.I.P 😢 for the family and friends for train disaster and Victims 😢 😢😢 . 😢😢 Sad 😭 television series.😢😢😢😢😢😢

Am so sorry 😔 every year in January . It me cry 😂 and upset And heart break every year

I cry if i have to go to granville by train and feel very sad and eerie going under the new built bridge i have visited the site and memorial and drove across the bridge makes me cry every time.😢

My dad was on the train before the crash that fateful day heading to work in redfern and some of his friends were sadly on that train that fateful day my father broke down and cried . My father in law was actually on the train that crashed that fateful day luckily he survived may they all rest in peace😢

Lindsey Rose one of the first Ambulance officers on the scene saved many lives. Later he became a serial contract killer

How we behave as individuals and as a society during disasters is the ultimate test of civilisation. Everything that has been built before us, everything we do now, and everything we fear and aspire too, are all measured against these disruptive and life changing events. For the dead, it is all over. Very simple. Often they have barely enough time to realise what is happening. Many never know what hit them. For everyone else directly involved, the event never ends. Being a survivor of a disaster, is like being part of a family for good or ill. A thousand years from now, your place in your family will be the same. Just so with surviving any disaster: casualties, first responders, volunteers, support personnel, health professionals, investigators, consultant experts, friends and family: All linked by the disaster for all time, be they known or anonymous, until the end of history. For the dead: we owe them the truth. It is the only we we can honour their memory beyond celebrating their lives. For the survivors: we must honour them by listening to their truth. We must never forget the lessons forced on us by the disaster. It is the very least we can do. Let us all hope those lessons are enough to endure the next disaster. This TV Movie is one of the finest ‘historic disaster’ movies EVER made. It chose dramatisation and character development over detail, but few disaster documentaries have ever been able to capture both the human experience of emergency rescue, and the political fallout during the investigation. It is hard too beat. Many newer efforts with much bigger budgets have no been able to convey both the big picture AND the intimate consequences of major disasters.

Back then we were getting around in 55+ year old trains, now you are lucky to see one 25 years old.

I remember that day, I was 14 and on my way to Cowra with my father, we were just going into Lithgow when it came over the radio. I will never forget that day, we were getting ongoing reports over the radio, the music had stopped. Watching this, so much came back of the day 46 years ago. 10 years later I was working with a man who lost his job. He was driving a 110 ton crain and when found out from the radio he went to granville and not the job in Sydney. When his local councl found out, Norm was given a job for the rest of his life.

This happened 1 day after my 9th birthday, even today i cringe when i go past that part of the rail network. NSW Rail has had a long and sketchy history, I remember back in early 80s how the school train would regularly go through the Heathcote station and the kids would jump out and save that time it would take to reverse back. 1 time the train went through the station and stopped opposite the school, lot's of kids jumped out and straight away a whole bunch 9f railway detectives jumped up and grabbed the kids (obviously set up). Other times these detectives would wait for us to walk across the rails and than grab us instead of having just 1 bloke stand at end of station to stop the kids from going across

Such a well made Movie, thanks very much.

I remember this movie playing on TV when I was a kid. I had no idea what I was watching & turned the channel to something else. Many years later I would move to Rosehill & catch the train at Granville to school not realising what had happened until my Mum told me about the disaster that had occured. RIP to all those people on this day.

*Don't forget to 'tap on and tap off'*

Though separated. Margaret was my wife and I have only just seen this documentary and am very disappointed that Rebecca Gibney was chosen to depict Margaret - she looks nothing like her but I would dearly like to contact Pat, Theresa and/or Rosamund - our children with whom I have lost contact and be able to explain the actions leading to our separation - peter DAVID SHUTTLER

I've never forgotten about the young girl who was a ballerina, whose legs were pinned under and left her disabled, shattering her future dreams 😪

Wow, look how racist the British Australians are, no Asians and Black people allowed on trains and no Asians and Black people allowed in this film. It's unbearable, it's all white people. The white people even get an award from the Queen. 😆😅🤣😂So who said the good guys won WW2? Imagine receiving only $500 in compensation for a father and mother and only receiving $1000 compensation each for the daughters. Imagine how many more white people would have been saved if Asians and Blacks were allowed in the rescue squad. Too bad, so sad. British got a taste of their own medicine when people started stealing from the dead and Emergency Services, but the British stole a whole country, awful, indeed. Plus: A time of the White Australia policy. It's really terrible. British people have no shame. British racism is alive and healthy in Australia. The Australian Constitution still doesn't recognize the First People's of the country. There is still no Memorial for the murdered Indigenous Australians.😡😡😡😡😡 This message is to honour all the murdered Indigenous Australians that the British

1:11:27 my god so this is what my gran fader saw this....... i....... 😞 god rest all thos that died in the accidente

My Dad drove across the bridge ( that fell on top of the train) every morning at the same time as the train went passed underneath. The morning of the crash Dad was late because he was picking up a co worker, which saved his life.

This film is stained by inclusion of weird political conspiracy crap about the curve in question having its speed limit set by politicians. Unforgiveable. Speaking as a Blue Mountains boy at the time.

Kylie l can’t thank you enough. My late mum was a nurse and at this time she heard so much of what happened, so many horrific things and so many positive ones as well. It’s heartbreaking with everyone’s personal feelings and thoughts getting mixed up with something of this scale. Heather Mitchell was awesome, I remember her most from this. Thank you so much for uploading this.

Remember the news coverage Shocking the cover up now seen. Heart goes out to all who had their lives changed by this. 😢 very saddened. Not a good moment. As they said heros along side rats.

Mount Victoria January 18th 1977 48:17

Onlookers blocked the paths for emergency responders. ACA did a damning report on the spectators, dubbed "ghouls" watching the rescue operation as takeaway food shops next to Granville Station did a roaring trade. The other side of the disaster.

I was six years old when it happened my heart go to family who lost their love ones God bless

1:24.32 Trent from punchy

Excellent film great actors almost real sites and on times very moving. My Mother was a nurse many years ago in the Mild May Missionary Hospital IN London England I have a photo of my mother in her nurses uniform together with her friend who became a nurse the same time as my mother.

Where is the beginning? Where we see all the families getting ready to go catch the train?

I did not understand what happened to the dancer can someone explain to me please

I grew up in Granville & remember that morning very well. Mum was a blood donor & she went & donated after they put it out on the TV radio that they needed blood. This is possible the saddest movie I have ever seen. :(
