He didn't forget it for as bad as that was, it simply doesn't rate among this collection. BTW, I was a driver on the NSWGR and worked with that driver a couple of times.
Or Eschede, Germany - June 3rd, 1998 an ICE train's wheel broke, got stuck in the floor of a train car and hit a switch. This sent car 3 on another track and against a bridge's pillar. The bridge collapsed, 101 people lost their life and 105 were injured because the train was travelling at a speed of almost 200 km/h and the cars jack-knifed into each other against the collapsed bridge. It's been ICE 883 "Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen" (yeah, some long-distance trains in Germany have a name...) going from Munich to Hamburg.
I was on jury duty a few years ago and the case was about a track inspector fired for reporting bad tracks due to bad weather or missing parts. His boss told him to stop reporting so they could get a bigger bonus but he was obligated to follow standards so shit like derailments don’t happen
@@rapidthrash1964 he did. Got 1 percent of the companies worth which was a lot all because of 8 hours of the time card fraud he shouldn’t have even had.
Apart from the 2004 sri lanka incident wich is largely considered a natural disaster, the romanian train accident from 1916 is actually the train accident with the most fatalities ever... the sri lanka accident claimed more lives, but that accident happened because of a natural disaster... the romanian accident was trully an accident... where arround 1200 people lost their lives... similar to the french accident from 1918, but historians tell the romanian one claimed slightly more lives... and yet, the goverment kept it a secret to keep the army's morale high... if you ask any romanian today about the Ciurea accident, 99,9% of romanians have no ideea that such an accident occured 100 years ago... the only indicator that there was an accident you will find at Ciurea. (wich is the small village where the accident happened)... on a field across from the rail station you will find 1 cruce... and thats it... hard to belive that is the sight of the deadliest train accident in history... this accident (when it comes to fatalities) is on par with the Titanic disaster... and while everybody has heard of Titanic, almost no one remembers the Ciurea incident... thats how well the goverment covered it up...
There was an explosion in Russia next to a train line that may have killed 1000 people. A gas line had been leaking for at least a week and sparks from the train ignited the gas. Then you covered the incident, well done
@@matgeezer2094 i watched the ravens eye video about it and almost turned off halfway through after hearing a report from Tamara Striga, one of the first nurses dispatched to the scene.
There was a derailment at Frankford Junction, in the Harrowgate neighborhood in Philadelphia, PA, caused when a journal box burned out while the train was moving at 50 MPH. A car that had the journal box burn out shot upward, hit a signal gantry, and dragged 8 cars off the rails. There were 79 passengers killed. This location was just west of where an Amtrak train tried to take a 55MPH-rated curve at 103MPH, and derailed the entire train on May 12, 2015. Eight passengers were killed in that crash.
You can add the 1908 Sunshine disaster in Victoria, Australia. A Bendigo to Melbourne train rear-ended a Ballarat to Melbourne train at Sunshine. Out of 16 coaches, only 1 survived undamaged. This has now been restored (in the 1990's) to operational condition.
Good job dude, no non stop ads, no "today's sponsor clip", no AI voices or poxy figure, actual person speaking, excellent script and excellent research. Pity those poxy channels trying to make Hollywood videos couldn't learn from this video (eg fact verse) . Well done
The Malbone Street Subway wreck in NYC (At 10:35) was a caused by a Supervisor (Not a "Novice Operator") driving the train train during a strike of BMT subway workers. The Supervisor did not know how to control the train on the downgrade, casuing the derailment and fatalities.
There is an accident in Padang Panjang, Sumatera, Dutch East Indies (Now Indonesia) on Christmas 1944. A passenger train fell off a bridge in Anai Valley. 200 people killed, and 250 were injured. And few months later, the same accident happened again, with unknown numbers of casualties. Unfortunately because it happened in WW2, not many people even the locals today didn't knew about this accident and there are not many references made to this accident.
Isn’t that nice. Someone took the time to graffiti that 1918 Nashville train wreck information board. How thoughtful of them. It certainly warms the cockles of my heart to see kids paying such tribute and respect.🤨
The Benavidez, Argentina, accident of 1970 could be added: a local train stopped on the track by locomotive failure was hit by an express train that was mistaken given a clear signal: 270 dead and more were injured
Misleading title. A more appropriate one would be: "The Deadliest Train Accidents, predominantly in the US." To be honest, I expect that anyone who's seriously investigating train accidents has heard of the Quintinshill rail disaster.
Why do most people on You Tube go from the most to the least! It should be the other way around, otherwise why would we watch! The best to the last...hmm.
The UFA incident in russia....it wasn't ten THOUSAND tons of TNT equivalent. Noone would have survived that and the explosion would have created a mushroom cloud
I have a problem when any video space is used to show a narrator narrating, unless that narrator is a part of the story. I have stopped watching many videos for this reason. This subject has my interest, but one view of the narrator would have been enough.
Indian Train system is quite big and quite safe...major accidents rarely happens...dont give false statements...System is now modernised and it is not british era type, this is 2024..
31 dead for the Ladbroke Grove rail crash, 35 for Clapham Junction, 112 dead for the Harrow and Wealdstone one and 226 for Quintishill, id only see the last 2 being on this video.
