Lac-Mégantic rail disaster

Unattended train rolled down hill.. Caused massive damage. Not following safety regulations with regards to the unattended brake was the culprit caused (in MHO) by suits who never cared about their customers anyways.

On February 8th, 1986, outside of the tiny town of Hinton, Alberta, a Via Rail passenger train and a CN mixed stock cargo train collided. 23 people died. Some sulphur is still there today. This was the worst rail disaster in Canada until Lac-Mégantic in 2013. reddit.com/gallery/nt251a

Questions regarding Lac-Mégantic rail disaster

I've read an article about the disaster and it stated that with all the locomotives shut down the air brakes could no longer hold the train as the handbrakes applied were too little. Thing is I always thought that in an air brake system the air pressure is used to release the brakes, so that in the event of a loss of pressure the brakes automatically kick in. I don't have a lot of knowledge regarding trains so please bear with me and thanks in advance.

To critics of Stephen Harper’s government, [the Lac-Mégantic disaster] was evidence of the costs of deregulation; to pipeline advocates, proof that we should be moving oil underground rather than by rail; to some environmentalists, yet another sign that we need to slow down resource development... theglobeandmail.com/news/…
