About this listen

In 1989, a runaway freight train in San Bernardino destroyed a neighborhood after inaccurate weight calculations and insufficient braking power caused it to derail. The disaster was worsened weeks later when a damaged pipeline exploded during cleanup.
Aeroflot Flight 593 crashed in Siberia after the pilot allowed his teenage son to handle the controls. A partial autopilot disconnection went unnoticed, triggering an unrecoverable stall that killed everyone on board.
Both tragedies show how small errors and unfamiliar technology can combine to produce catastrophic loss of life.
