Show Notes
On October 9, 1995, a seemingly ordinary Amtrak journey began from Miami, Florida, to Los Angeles, California, with 248 passengers and 20 crew members on board. Before they could reach their destination, chaos struck. Someone had maliciously tampered with the railway track and communication system, causing the Sunset Limited to derail just after midnight. In the aftermath of this catastrophe, one life was tragically lost, and countless others were left injured. Amidst the chaos and confusion, the remaining passengers rallied together, drawing upon their resilience and strength, determined to survive this harrowing ordeal. Yet, amidst their fight for survival, a burning question plagued their minds: Who could have perpetrated such a heinous act? Their confusion deepened when they stumbled upon a manifesto near the site of the derailment, leaving them with even more unanswered questions.
