Buttevent disaster 1980

Plus the fact that similar wooden coaches were the cause of deaths a couple of years later at cherryville. No accountability. It was the 90s before wooden coaches disappeared.

Good documentary tells the story as was and if really good, opens the gate to what if and what next.

Face it folks RTE wouldn't have the balls to screen the real truth about Buttevent and cherryville the way I'd tell the story. Someone somewhere after cherryville should have been jailed. Bad work practices and poor rolling stock. No lessons learned until a second disaster and even then a third world response.
