DAY OF THE ROSES, THE  |  |  | The death toll from Australia's worst train tragedy continues to mount as rescuers tear apart the wreckage in an increasing desperate hunt for survivors. The accident at Granville, NSW, in which the Sydney bound 6.09am from Mt Victoria veered off the tracks and smashed into a bridge is known to have claimed 83 lives. But exhausted rescuers are being buoyed by the number of miraculous escapes by passengers whose carriages were crushed by the impact of the crash."
The Day Of The Roses - was a day which would be etched in people's minds forever. It is the story of heroism, inspiration and heartache. Drawn from the real-life events surrounding Australia's worst train crash, the spirit of the rescuers and the sheer determination of those who miraculously survived prove a source of inspiration for all. A dramatic story, it is one heroism in the most gruelling of circumstances, and the sometimes cruel hand of fate.
