Another Day Another Train wreck

On Tuesday 18^th of January 1977 a morning suburban train came around the corner at
Granville Railway Station and collided with the road bridge supports. The train came off
the tracks and turned over. The Bridge collapsed on top of the carriages. It remains the
worst rail disaster in Australian History. 84 people died including an unborn child.

Rosa:   Oh goodness what just happened. My head hurts am I bleeding?
Phillip: The train crashed. But I think we are alright. It’s hard to tell.
Rosa:    I am sorry to be a bother but my head is bleeding.
Phillip: I have a handkerchief it that will help.
Rosa:   Yes of course. Thank you so much. Oh that’s better.
Phillip: I guess we should stay calm. I’m not sure what to do in this situation.
             I never even been in a car crash.
Rosa:   Yes we should stay calm. The rescue teams will be here soon I can hear
             the sirens in the distance. We can prayer if you like. It doesn’t look like
             we’ll be going anywhere both ends of the carriage are blocked.
Phillip: Oh I’m not much for prayers. But if you wish.
Rosa:    Hold my hand please. I’m a little scared
              “ Oh Gentle Jesus look down on us this day,
                 This day when trouble is knocking at our door.
                 Protect Phillip and myself from harm.
                 Oh please bless us with your divine mercy,
                 That we might return to our families.
                  In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit” Amen
Phillip: That was lovely. Thank you. Well the smoke seems to have settled.
             So should we try to escape?
Rosa:    No I think we should wait. I’m still bleeding and your arm is
             badly bruised.I see you wrapped your eye with a cloth.
Phillip: Oh I’m alright.
Rosa:    So tell me about yourself Phillip.
Phillip: Oh nothing to tell really. I’m an insurance clerk.28 years old.
             Not married. No girlfriend. Sagittarius. Bit of a lost cause I’m afraid.
             And now I’m trapped in a train carriage with a dozen dead bodies.
Rosa:    Sagittarius you say. Well they are usually generous, idealistic with
             a good sense of humour. They can be impatient however.
Phillip. I guess that’s true. So what about you Rosa.
Rosa.    Well I’m 48 in July and I am a Libra. We are suppose to be
             gracious and fair-minded, social and diplomatic.
             Oh dear not much of a chance to be social at the moment.
             I remember years ago at Katoomba.
             The winters there can be brutally cold.
             Being fearless kids we would run out into the snow in our bare feet.
             Climb the old willow tree and jump of a branch into the snow. What joy.
             One day when I was about 18 I realised that the boy next but one was watching me.
             He didn’t say anything but it was clear that we were destined to meet.
             His name was Abraham. I thought that was a very strong name.
             We fell deeply in love. Oh we went everywhere together.
             We were both studying at College but that got interrupted by
             my pregnancy.he wasn’t ready to be a family man.
             I wasn’t ready for all that either.He went to Western Australia I think.
             My Father found a doctor who would perform an abortion.
             I often regret not having that baby.But that’s life I’m afraid.
