Fifty years after the Moorgate Tube disaster, one question remains
It was the worst crash in London Underground history, killing 43 people in a storm of metal. Was it suicide?
50 years ago today, a tube driver went to work with Β£270 in his pocket, which he said was to buy his daughter a car.
A few hours later, 43 people were dead after that same driver careened into a wall at Moorgate station.
Why? Well, nobody knows.

Over the past 6 months, my social media timelines have been increasingly filled with AI slop. It's now some of the most viewed content online.
