The two dead people are the engineers who died at the wheel causing the trains to crash.

Quizbowl's right.

Two more:
A rope broke, a bell rang, a man fell to his death. What happened?

Near Chicago's O'Hare Airport, a man is frozen and dead in the middle of a park. What happened?

You can ask yes/no questions to find the answer.

Does the bell directly link to the man's death?

Did the man freeze to death or is he frozen due to something else?

The bell indirectly caused his death.

He froze to death, but there's more to it. Everything's there for a reason.

The man was climbing the rope to perform maintenance on the bell, in a high tower. The rope broke and he died
Did the freezing occur with airport equipment?

No, and no. Although airport equipment had something to do with it.
