The ro-ro ferry left harbour with her bow doors open. Water came onto the car deck and she capsized within minutes. 193 people died.

The canal is located just outside what is now Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. In 1857, ten years before Confederation, Ontario was known as Canada West, when Canada was a British colony known as the Province of Canada.

The train was heading from Toronto to Hamilton and was passing over the Desjardins canal when it derailed. The engine's front axle broke, throwing the engine off the tracks, gouging apart the wooden ties before the engine smashed through the wooden structure of the bridges and fell onto the frozen creek below, with one passenger car leaning almost vertically against the stone wall. Moments later, the ice broke and the wrecked train sank into the freezing water. Of 90 onboard the train, 59 were killed and 18 were injured. Almost 170 years year, it still remains one of Canada's worst rail accidents.

Happened Thursday last week. The truck is still stuck.

The bridge was rated for 74 tons (per vehicle), but was given special permission crossing the bridge with centric driving, even though the total weight was about 100 tons. They had already cross 79 other bridges with the exact same weight rating.

The bridge was recently under maintenance, but apparently the bearing(s) that broke wasn't included in this operation.

Edit: specify limit was per vehicle

On 12 February 1983, the SS Marine Electric capsized about 30 nautical miles east of Chincoteague in a winter storm. In its last two years, the ship had more than 400 doublers and patches on its hatch covers; parts of a panel removed in 1982 were described as “paper thin.” The Marine Board found progressive flooding through wasted hatch and deck plating. The NTSB found flooding from an undetermined structural failure and thought the covers were probably weathertight when the ship sailed. Of 34 crew members, three survived.

Which evidence would you want to compare first when assessing those two explanations?

Reports indicate 6 fatalities and 1 injury.

A floor imploded around 12 to 1 p.m., leaving several people injured, at least one of whom was taken to the emergency room. It was probably a gas explosion that blew out from the inside, and the building was still inhabited even though part of it had been under renovation for several months.

The train derailed near Oriole Station because of a switch that was not only misaligned, but also left open. After an investigation, the cause was determined to be local kids messing around with it.

Among CN Railway No. 302 freight cargo was approximately 50 horses and 200 cows. The animals in the derailed stock cars were either killed on impact, injured and had to be euthanized by police, or escaped the crashed train uninjured and fled.
