In Collision Course, the chain of events of two major tragedies unravels before your eyes. This film reveals the science and psychology behind a rail crash in 1997, where seven British commuters were killed, and a plane crash in 1989, where nearly half the passengers survived.
The rail crash episode unravels the eight-and-a-half seconds of the crash to discover why some passengers died, while others apparently more at risk did not. The plane crash episode combines powerful human testimony and the latest in graphics techniques. It examines not only what brought down the Boeing 737, but also why some survived and others did not. The single most likely thing to kill you before the age of 40 is suicide or travelling.
Episode 1: Train. On September 19th 1997 seven British commuters were killed in Britain's Southall rail crash. Collision Course unravels the science of the eight-and-a-half seconds of the crash, to discover why some passengers died, while others apparently more at risk did not. With a major train crash now predicted to happen every two years what, if any, choices can you make to improve your chances of surviving a collision?
Episode 2: Plane. In 1989 a Boeing 737 crash-landed on one of Britain's major motorways. Collision Course examines how this event affected those who survived. Powerful human testimony and the latest in graphics techniques combine to unravel the chain of events set in motion by this major tragedy.
These BBC studies detailing the history of these two major events give insights into science, psychology and health and safety.
