Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere in a thread I've missed.
National Geographic channel, have a new series of their "seconds from disaster" show screening at the moment.
The first episode in this new series, features The Kings Cross Fire of 1987. I watched it yesterday and it is undoubtedly worth viewing, forgive them a bit of current footage 1995 stock .... mixed with 1959, 1938 and 1983 stock to name a few, plus other footage from the time and recreation of the investigation.
Bit's did bring a tear to my eye and we must remember the profound effect that event has had on London Underground and safety ever since, it remains at the forefront of teachings for new recruits.
