Trivia: When Warren Grafton and his cohorts are imprisoned at the end of the episode, you can see that one of his fellow prisoners is "Scobie" from the second season episode "Give or Take a Million".
Trivia: The disaster of this episode is caused by a lightning strike damaging the automatic signals of a monorail train, causing it to speed towards a collapsing bridge. In 2011, a similar incident occurred in Wenzhou, China, when a lightning strike caused the railway's signals to mark a section of track as safe, despite containing a stopped train. A second train then entered and collided with the stopped vehicle, and derailed from the elevated track onto the fields below.
