- Abstract:
Recalls the crash of Amtrak's Sunset Limited at Big Bayou Canot, Alabama, killing 47, the worst accident in Amtrak's 23-year history. Expert speculation alleges that loose barges, which broke away from the tugboat MV Mauvilla, damaged the bridge, which gave way under the train, sending three engines and four cars into the alligator-infested waters. Radio messages to the Coast Guard; Examples of heroism; Comments from Bill Crosson, 57, and his wife.
