## Resource

Who’s to blame for the Great Train Robbery of 1963? This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) tackles the Great Train Robbery of 1963 with Fact Checker Faryn Einhorn and Producer Clayton Early. Like something straight out of a movie, which it later became (and a miniseries), this dramatic heist resulted in the theft of over 2.6 million pounds in just 15 minutes. All from an overnight mail train with a lot of money and very little security. Was this the work of a post officer insider? Could out of service security carriages be to blame? Or perhaps this is what happens when two powerful gangs combine to plan the ultimate robbery! Join our Patreon!
