On December 12, 1988, at 8:10 AM, a catastrophic train collision occurred near Clapham Junction station in London, resulting in 35 deaths and 484 injuries. This tragedy was caused by faulty wiring in the signaling system, leading to a false green light and a subsequent three-train collision. The incident prompted a comprehensive investigation, known as the Hidden Inquiry, which identified critical safety lapses within British Rail. This video provides an in-depth analysis of the events leading up to the disaster, the immediate aftermath, and the lasting impact on railway safety protocols in the UK.
