    • Valenta HST! WARNING 6...
    At 9:38 in the morning on August 12th, 2020. A train derailed in Scotland, precisely here near to the town of Stonehaven. On that fateful day, a nation received the news that had a fatal train accident took place on the railway line that runs between Aberdeen and Dundee. For the first time in over a decade, a train not only derailed in a devastating accident but induced fatal injury.
    Railway accidents have become exceedingly rare in the United Kingdom in recent years, coinciding with this, deaths related to the railway have also drastically decreased to nearly zero. Most deaths related to rail accidents in the UK after 2004 have mostly been linked level crossing incidents. But this never really involved a train going off the rails, with one notable exception in 2007. Needless to say that rail travel in Britain, despite its many flaws, is incredibly safe.
    Which may be why so much attention was drawn to the 2020 derailment at Carmont in Scotland. It immediately became headline news across the country. It was the first major rail accident in years. It should be noted right off the start, that this could have been far greater tragedy than it already was. Occurring in 2020 at the height of the Pandemic, the number of rail travellers at that time were limited in numbers. This is the story of the Stonehaven Derailment. We’ll explore what happened here and the events leading up to that fatal accident.

    THERE HAS BEEN A UPDATE!
    September 7th 2023. from the BBC...
    "Network Rail has admitted a series of failings which led to the death of three people in a train derailment near Stonehaven in 2020. The company pleaded guilty to criminal charges at the High Court in Aberdeen".
    Network Rail admitted failing to impose a speed restriction, warn the driver that part of the track was unsafe, or ask him to reduce his speed. It also admitted a number of failures over the maintenance and inspection of drainage in the area, and in adverse and extreme weather planning".

      @@jameshowe6057 If I've learned anything from watching disaster documentaries, it is that negligence is only ever temporarily eradicated; it always returns. People get lazy, greedy, overworked, underfunded - the reasons are many. And because the results of negligence are not immediate, it always gets worse until the sudden shock of a disaster causes people to toe the line again... until the next cycle of negligence begins. Human nature, alas.

      The accident and fatality statistics she began the video with tell me that you and your colleagues working on the railways in Britain are doing an incredible job, and you deserve to be commended. And yeah, one lapse has the potential for tragedy, but I assume you have redundancies built into the system to protect against single-fault errors becoming catastrophes. Your safety record amazes me. People do have lapses because we're human, but a good robust system can handle that. Now if you have a lapse at the same time someone else has a lapse... best not to have any lapses I guess. But congratulations on your tremendous safety record! That tells me the system is excellent, and the individuals who work to keep that system running safely are doing their jobs with diligence.

      Call me crazy, but I don't think tragic incidents involving the deaths of people are the right places for "humour". I also don't quite see what "comfort" has to do with anything? Its just poor writing, and immensely disrespectful.
      Also, I don't quite see the need for the lazy all-caps clickbait in the title, as well as the weather portion of the video which had absolutely zero reason to be "performed" and comes across as more of a self-driven excuse to come on camera for personal reasons rather than for the benefit of the video and viewer, or the story itself.
      If this is the way this channel is heading, ill be seeing myself out to be honest. Pretty noticeable drop in quality, as well as a clear shift in attitude (For the worse), as far as I'm concerned.

    I lived in Aberdeen at the time, I had never seen a thunderstorm like the one we got that day. Torrential. Totally torrential rain. I ended up not being able to get into work (I worked in a medical lab) because I had to wade out of my apartment building. My friend at the time had been seconded to the lab in Dundee, I've never rang someone so hysterically before, literally screamed "tell me you weren't on that train" and their response, "the bus couldn't get to the station with the flooding so I missed the train." Never felt so much relief. As a born and bred Scot I'll tell you, it was BAD that day. Our hospital was put on alert, we were getting mass transfusion packs ready if they had to be sent at short notice etc. Then no one came. I remember standing there thinking "I can't tell if it was bad or good" thank christ we were in lockdown or that train would have been packed and many more people would have died.

    I live in Aberdeenshire, around 30 miles north of where this accident happened.

      Also the 1975 Watford crash, that I believe was also caused by landslip\poor drainage, although I could be wrong. But I remember there were bogeys from the wreck on the side of the track for many years afterwards.

That’s how it felt for friends in Stonehaven, media could’ve been more understanding tbh.

    Thank you for continuing to make these videos. As much as I don't really care about the incidents themselves, or the people involved - it's always a delight to get the entire package compressed to a session-length multifactor analysis. One thing I always get out of these, is _a method of thinking_ - of considering things from mutliple perspectives, expecting the proverbial unexpected, and of casting a much wider net than would seem to make sense based on the original project/design criteria. It really helps to see things unfold step by step - it gives you the experience (however silly that may sound, not taking part in the process yourself) that allows you to more naturally look for such event chains, because _you've seen this before._
    We humans are notoriously terrible with seeing the wider implications of our actions - if for no other reason than the simple fact that having a general and _complete_ overview of the entire situation is a privilege only select few will ever have, in any given situation. _This is why oversight is so important,_ as it enables people to take a look at "the big picture".
    But even then we miss a terrible lot. And I'd like to think that all of this content helps me notice more, and more quickly. It prompts me to ask questions that may seem silly, on the off chance that the answer might make someone go "hey, hold on a minute there - that doesn't sound right". As much as I may not care about the people, _I care about the reliability of everything I build_ - which translates to safety and security regardless. :D
    Also, I'm glad to see you collaborating with John (Plainly Difficult)! Could you teach him to read more smoothly though? :D I'm always delighted to see my favourite creators working together - the sum _really is greater_ than all of its constituent parts. And it's funny, if you think for a minute - I'm deriving quite a bit of enjoyment from something someone, once upon a time, started on a silly whim thinking "eh, who'll want to watch these anyway". :D Well, as it turns out - plenty of people will.
