Read the account of the Clayton Tunnel Disaster . Be prepared to discuss this account in class. Notice that this railroad accident occurred in 1841; the communication technology was quite limited.
P515 students. You may be asked to make a five-minute classroom presentation explaining accident and answer questions from the P415 students. If asked, you would be expected to make a cogent, concise presentation, not an informal off-the-cuff comment, so I recommend that you prepare a few notes.
