"EGMUN 2025’s Malbone Street Wreck Committee will recreate the aftermath of the 1918 Brooklyn train disaster, where an inexperienced motorman, Antonio Luciano, derailed a train while speeding, resulting in nearly 100 fatalities. The committee will discuss issues such as labor rights, corporate accountability, infrastructure, and government oversight in public transportation. Delegates will assume roles of survivors, officials, company representatives, and journalists to assess responsibility and suggest reforms. The debate will delve into the balance between privatization and public control of transit, as well as safety enhancements, drawing on historical insights to inform contemporary transportation policies."
