http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/local-news/nuneaton-train-crash-vivid-memories-9396818 I wasn't living in Nuneaton at the time but I certainly know about it. |

I remember it quite well. (My Mother's family come from Nuneaton.) From memory it looked an awful lot worse than it turned out to be. Only about 6 lives were lost IIRC? But how the rescue teams (and not just in this case) get over what they see I'll never know. I guess that I'm grateful that they do a job that I know I couldn't. |

That does look a crumpled mess. Sad for the 6 who lost their lives and it's a miracle no more were killed. |
