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.

I really enjoyed this mini-series. I remember the tragedy occurring when I was only a young child, but not any detail so it was great to fill in the gaps. This series follows some of the key victims and rescuers through the lead up, actual event and aftermath. SOme very real and touching stories are told.
