Derailed: Attacks on Trains and Passenger Vehicles

In this final episode, we'll explore the unique challenges of investigating crimes that occur on trains, buses, and other passenger vehicles. From targeted attacks on public transportation to acts of sabotage that derail trains, these incidents often involve complex jurisdictional issues and the need for coordinated responses from multiple law enforcement agencies. We'll examine high-profile cases, such as the 2004 Madrid train bombings and the 2015 Thalys train attack, to understand the tactics used by perpetrators, the security vulnerabilities in these transportation systems, and the efforts to improve passenger safety and emergency response protocols.
