Train Crash Kills Over 60 People In Spain.
Viewing has jumped sharply. Mentour's Black Box has added more than half a million views in a day, roughly fourteen times its usual daily viewing.
The channel's most recent upload is a Short titled "Train Crash Kills Over 60 People In Spain.", published on 29 October. It brings a current rail disaster into a catalogue largely built around longer examinations of how catastrophes happen. The channel comes from the team behind Mentour Pilot, with a stated focus on decisions, failures and warnings before disaster strikes.
Rail safety already has a substantial place in that work. In "The Wiring Mistake That Killed 296 People", engineer Jake Ryland examines the Odisha train accident. The episode's description traces the disaster to wires moved during a routine repair unrelated to the track the train was travelling on.
The Spanish report accompanies the channel-wide surge, though that does not establish how much of the day's viewing it supplied. The channel's most-watched regular video remains "The Nuclear Nightmare Of Fukushima".
