Episode: Bev (and a special guest host) takes us back to 1998 when Germany's Intercity Express trains were speeding down the tracks of success with luxurious amenities and a fantastic safety record. That was all thrown into question on June 3rd of that year when ICE 884 crashed catastrophically near the small town of Eschede. High speed trains were popular at the time, being used in several countries. So, while Germany investigated, the rest of the world waited anxiously to find out if we had put our lives in the hands of a technology that could get us killed.
