Glow Train Catastophe DVD
- MEGA DISASTERS explores the worst of what could
happen.
- Stunning computer graphics and actual footage combine
to create convincing pictures of the risks faced by U.S. cities.
- Train accidents in Wisconsin and Maryland expose the
vulnerability of our communities.
It has happened before, and it could happen again. What
makes storms, earthquakes and other events into natural disasters is
not how they occur, but where they strike. MEGA DISASTERS asks the what
ifs? no one ever wants to face. A masterful blend of actual footage,
computer graphics and interviews with leading scientists and public
safety experts explores the outer limits of what could happen if
everything went wrong.
Trains loaded with the deadliest, most volatile
substances created by modern industry pass backyards throughout America
every day. Families go about their lives ignorant of the killer cargo
rolling by just feet from their homes... until a MEGADISASTER occurs!
This episode analyzes two terrible train accidents that
occurred in the heart of American communities. In March, 1996, a
freight train carrying roughly one-million pounds of propane derailed
in Weyauwega, Wisconsin. One of the tankers exploded like a bomb and
the entire town was evacuated. And in 2001, a train tunnel fire
billowed clouds of hydrochloric acid over Baltimore's downtown core.
While luckily neither accident resulted in injury or
death, MEGADISASTERS shows just how vulnerable our neighborhoods are.

tree huggers to make America energy independent, clean our air and
water, improve the fuel efficiency of our vehicles, kick-start
21st-century industries, and make our cities safer and more livable.
Don't let them get away with it!!"

Here is how History Channel web site describes the
upcoming episode:
Mega Disasters : Glow Train
Catastrophe Airs on Tuesday June 24 10:00 PM This is the time in Las
Vegas. Check it out in your local listings.
The U.S. Department of Energy and the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission plan to transport 77,000 tons of nuclear waste to
a permanent storage facility 950 feet below Nevada's Yucca Mountain. If
the plan goes through, much of the cargo will travel through Las Vegas,
making an accident there a very disturbing possibility. If history has
taught us anything, it's that transporting dangerous goods can
sometimes have catastrophic results. Take a look at the potential
disaster that such a rail accident would have in Las Vegas.
Please pass this message on to
all you know. We could never have put something together like this
ourselves.
