by John Prebble
The famous bridge across the river Tay was completed in 1878. Eighteen months later, on the night of December 28, 1879, the central spans collapsed in a great storm, carrying with them into the river a six-coach train with seventy-five passengers aboard.
This programme, which is based on John Prebble 's book of the same name, tells the story of the bridge, of the disaster, and of the dramatic events that followed.
