Description
In 1977 Australia experienced its worst ever train disaster when a commuter train veered off the tracks and smashed into a bridge in Granville, Sydney killing 83 people. The Day of The Roses is a moving account of those tragic events. Made for television in 1998, it is a story of heroism against impossible odds, detailing the spirit of the rescuers and the sheer determination of those who miraculously survived. A fitting epitaph to those who lost their lives, this award-winning drama (it won 4 AFIs) is also a tribute to the people who risked their lives beneath unstable concrete supports and a collapsed roadway, and the risk of incineration from leaking gas, to rescue other critically injured passengers.
