Tangiwai Disaster Cause and Effects.

I have been studying the Tangiwai train disaster.  My question is why did this happen in the first place, what are the cause and effects.  I know that a river was flooded and a bridge couldn't quite handle it.  This all unfolded in 1953 Christmas Eve, 285 people were on board and 151 died.  Most people were heading home for Christmas so they were equipped with presents. At the time this was the 8th worst train disaster in the world.  This was really a tragic ending of the year for Kiwis.

So our teacher Ms Brown signed us up for this write your own poem thing and we got a package later on.  My class didn't know what was going on.  Apparently about 96,000 other people are doing the same and that's a heck of a lot of people. Our class decided to make a warm up poem about the colour blue and how we did that is Ms Brown made a doc and shared to us.  We had to all make one sentence each about the colour blue example: as blue as the sea or blue like the man's gumboots.   After we did that  we were given a random object that we had to describe.  I had to think of 40 words to describe a dinosaur.  Once you come up with your 40 words you then had to pick 20 of your favourite ones.  After going through  all of that you had to come collect 20 bits of paper,  with the paper you just had to play with it and arrange to look good,  they didn't have to make sense either it just had look like it all fitted.  After all of that you had to copy it on to a card and hand it in.  Ms Brown then sent them to a school in Auckland.  We are currently waiting for cards back from another school.
