| The Day of the Roses | comment |
The Day of the Roses is a 1998 Australian two-part Docudrama miniseries surrounding the real-life Granville rail disaster and the resulting investigation.On the morning of January 18th, 1977, a commuter train derails and collides with a bridge in Granville, a suburb of Sydney, causing the bridge to collapse on top of two packed coaches. 84 people are killed and countless more are injured.Four months later, as Coroner Tom Weir prepares to hold an inquest into the disaster, he starts getting pressure from the New South Wales government (which owns the railway) to wrap up his investigation quickly and uncontroversially. Weir soon calls upon the expertise of engineer Boris "B.O." Osman, who feels that the inquiries done up to this point are missing some key pieces of evidence, and that a more thorough investigation is in order.The series soon flips back and forth between Weir and Osman navigating political meddling in their investigation and the resulting coroner's inquest, and a recap of the disaster and its aftermath from the perspective of survivors, first responders, and victims' families. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Weir takes a principled stand and goes against the government's wishes by officially accepting Osman's findings that the locomotive's wheels were also at fault, but it's heavily implied that it factored into his being removed from his position several years later. Additionally, survivors, the bereaved, and traumatized first responders still have to live with what happened. | |

Amazing Freaking Grace: During a particularly grim part of the rescue operations when there's concerns that the bridge will collapse further, a Salvation Army worker who was among several personnel to refuse to get out from the parts under the bridge sings a rendition of it. He gets cut off when the bridge does indeed drop a bit. Thankfully it doesn't come all the way down. Gerry Buchtmann wonders if God heard the hymn. | |

Cutting Corners | |
| The Day of the Roses / int_4b989393 | comment |
Cutting Corners: The railway company was found to be doing this, as mentioned under No OSHA Compliance. The reason the government tries to speed up Weir's inquest is because $200 million had already been allocated to repair the network's tracks after the derailment and the initial investigation. If it were found that the engine was at fault as well, the costs of making both track and trains safer would be more than the government could afford. | |

To Be Lawful or Good | |
| The Day of the Roses / int_a922f8de | comment |
To Be Lawful or Good: Weir is confronted with two options; either he bows to government pressure and rejects Osman's findings about the locomotive, possibly putting more people at risk due to unsafe trains, or he accepts Osman's concerns, which would cost the government more than it could afford to fix both tracks and trains, and would likely be the end of his career. In the end, he picks the latter. | |

No OSHA Compliance | |
| The Day of the Roses / int_b47d95be | comment |
No OSHA Compliance: The investigation exposes a number of instances of this trope: The Granville wreck wasn't even the second time that that particular locomotive had derailed… …or even the second time that the Bold Street Bridge had been struck by a train. Not to mention, when the Bridge was built, it was found to be too short, so the builders put a heavy layer of concrete on top of it to level it out, making it more than three times its planned weight. And the tracks were also found to be rather worn. Trains on that route were encouraged to go faster than was safe because the suburbs they served were a key swing district in state elections, so voters would take their frustrations out on the government of the day (who owned the rails) if they were late for work. | |

Corrupt Bureaucrat: Chief Stipendiary Magistrate Murray Farquhar is portrayed as one, being the closest thing the series has to an outright villain as he leans on Weir to speed up the investigation before anything gets unearthed that might embarrass the government or the railway. The "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue notes that he was later jailed over an unrelated matter. | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Gerry Buchtmann nearly loses his job because he helped out with the rescue operations while on sick leave. He does not take this well. It's heavily implied that Weir's decision to go against Murray Farquhar's pressure and accept Osman's findings that the locomotive's wheels were a contributing factor in the derailment is what led to him being removed from his post several years later. | |

Mistaken for Servant: The Justice Department agent sent to lean on Weir at the beginning of the first part bumps into Weir and mistakes him for a paper-pusher, telling him to "get stuffed" when Weir asks him for a hand with the (literal) truckloads of paperwork he's trying to tote in. Needless to say, he's in for a rude awakening when he finds out just who Weir is. | |

The Coroner: Tom Weir is of the more judicial variant, as is usual in Australia. | |

Ad Hominem: The railway's lawyers try to attack Osman's credibility as an expert witness by pointing out his inexperience with certain railway standards. | |
