Minutes later, the runaway train entered the town at high speed, derailed, and released millions of liters of crude oil, triggering a devastating fire that killed 47 people and destroyed much of downtown.

In this episode of Final Signal, we reconstruct the chain of failures behind the disaster from train securement and braking systems to company safety culture, tank car design and regulatory oversight.

This episode of Final Signal reconstructs the hidden fatigue crack, the catastrophic chain of events, the investigation, and the safety changes that followed.
