In December 1879 the Tay Bridge collapsed during a heavy storm. The train travelling over it at the time plunged into the Tay and 75 people lost their lives. Sir Thomas Bouch learns the fate of his bridge whilst planning the building of a new bridge over the River Forth. His attitude is very Victorian, he sees this as a minor setback and advises his assistant to carry on and learn from the experience. However, when alone he demonstrates his regret. A picture of the disaster shows the extent of the damage and we learn that Sir Thomas was found to be fully responsible for the disaster.
