This incident is reminding me of an old 1970s movie called The Cassandra Crossing. In it, some people on a train show symptoms of bubonic plague while traveling in Europe. Authorities stop the train, seal all the windows, and then send it on a different route that has a rickety old bridge, with the intent of having all the passengers die from the collapse of the old bridge. In the end, the strain of plague turns out to be easily-defeated, and only about half of the train goes into the drink.
