"keiner wurde ernsthaft verletzt"?

Na ja, laut Wikipedia ist das fuer den Zugfuehrer nicht ganz so glimpflich ausgegangen:

"Jack Mills, who was 57 at the time of the robbery, never fully recovered from his injuries. He finally returned to work in May 1964, and worked for 18 months on light duties [..]"

"The West Cheshire Coroner concluded that there was no reason to hold an inquest and that that while he was aware that Mills had been injured in the incident, there was no connection as far as he was concerned. Debate has raged in following years as to whether the incident had an indirect effect on his death and whether it affected his ability to work."

Nur weil in Wikipedia steht, "he never fully recovered" muss es ja nicht heissen, dass das auch stimmt.

Irgendeine unabhaengige Quelle, die das bestaetigt?

Kommt drauf an wie Du unabhaengig definierst. Aehnliches steht aber in verschiedenen Berichten und angeblich hat sich Biggs bei seiner Buchveroeffentlich sogar dafuer entschuldigt:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/8886300/Ronnie-Biggs-Im-finally-saying-sorry-for-Great-Train-Robbery.html

"Mr Mills was assaulted in the course of the robbery and died seven years later, aged 64.

Although the primary cause of death was leukaemia, his family have always insisted that he never recovered from the ordeal, [..]

In contrast, Mr Mills received £250 in compensation and never fully returned to work, retiring aged 62.

Biggs writes: "I also want to make it clear that I, and I am certain everyone involved in the Great Train Robbery, have always regretted that Mr Jack Mills was injured during the robbery and was put under such pressure during and after the trial.""

Irgendwie faellt es mir da schwer von "keiner wurde ernsthaft verletzt" zu sprechen.

Aha. Mir nicht.

Legendär war Phil Collins als Ronnie Biggs in "Buster": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buster_(film)

Sorry, er war freilich nich Ronnie Biggs, sonder Buster Edwards...

Stimmt, hatte ich ganz vergessen, "Buster" war ziemlich gut.

@Georg, danke, Typepad hat rumgezickt.
