"The July 6, 2013 Lac-Me?gantic rail disaster is a tragedy unparalleled in Canadian history. It resulted in major loss of life, massive environmental destruction and the evisceration of a small Quebec town. Blame landed squarely on the shoulders of three front-line employees of the Montreal, Maine, and Atlantic Railway Company. But a jury acquitted them. Who did cause this disaster? And how could it happen? In this book, Bruce Campell uncovers the truth about Lac-Me?gantic. .
