1988 Horka East Germany Train Disaster Documentary

December 3, 1988, two trains collided head-on near Horka, East Germany, after a freight train passed a red signal. Dispatchers realized the danger minutes before impact, but one train had no radio communication, making the disaster impossible to stop. Eight people lost their lives in one of the most forgotten railway accidents of the Cold War era. In this railway disaster documentary, we examine the events leading up to the Horka Train Collision, the investigation, and how modern train safety systems were introduced to prevent similar tragedies. #trainderailed #railroad #derailment
