The Most Catastrophic High-Speed Train Crash In History | What Went Wrong: Countdown to Catastrophe

High-speed Deutsche Bahn train derails near Eschida in Northern Germany, killing 101 and injuring 100 in 1998. The disaster was triggered by a fatigue crack that unraveled the train's bogey, causing it to collide with a road bridge. The crash led to manslaughter charges for Deutsche Bahn employees and prompted changes in train safety and emergency response procedures in Germany.
