Amtrak#2 Sunset Limited disaster 15th Anniversary 9-22-93

[Jeff L]

It's been 15 years since the worst disaster in Amtrak's history. The Sunset Limited plunged into the Bayou Canot claiming 47 lives and several injuries. They won't be forgotten.

Watching the youtube videos:
Seconds from Disaster: Wreck of the Sunset Limited says it all. Mostly off parts 1&2

I don't know why, but I became interested in this wreck since I saw a special on the Discovery Channel about it. I have read the NTSB report, seen pictures and video, etc.

Below is a preview and the link for the show Seconds from Disaster that is about the wreck.
