[edit]
  • Apparently because a stopcock in the brake line was accidentally bumped by a coupler, the brakes failed on a heavily loaded 12-car church excursion train returning from Montego Bay to Kingston, British Jamaica. The crew failed to detect and act on the problem until the train ran away and derailed on a curve at Kendal. Five cars rolled into a ditch and two became wedged in a narrow cutting; 179 people were killed, and hundreds injured.[1][2]

  • Approaching a section where one track was closed for construction, a train from Paris to Nîmes failed to slow for the crossover at Nozières-Brignon station, and reached it at 92 km/h (57 mph) instead of 30 km/h (19 mph). The locomotive derailed and breached a culvert under the track, which stopped it suddenly, worsening the pileup of cars. 27 people were killed and 134 injured, 30 seriously.[13][14][15]

  • The Kyshtym disaster occurred at the Mayak nuclear reprocessing plant in Russia.[77]
  • In British Nigeria, a 16-car train from Lagos to Kano was being driven carefully because of possible track damage from heavy rain, but when a culvert became blocked, the water rose rapidly and the driver was caught unawares by the resulting washout, about 20 miles (30 km) south of Ibadan. Seven cars derailed; early reports indicated 300 people missing, but it turned out that many of them walked away. However, 66 were killed and 122 injured.[78][79]
  • At Montgomery, Pakistan, a Karachi-bound express passenger train collided at full speed with a stationary oil-tanker train before midnight. 300 people were killed and 150 injured by the accident.[78][80]
