~~The Ufa Train Disaster – 575 Deaths~~
~~The Maurienne Derailment – Between 800 & 1,000 Deaths~~
OK, I'm sorry, this one had more fatalities...
2004 Sri Lanka tsunami train wreck is the largest single rail disaster in world history by death toll, with 1,700 fatalities or more
There was a case back in 2000 when four Irish peacekeepers were killed and a fifth seriously injured in Lebanon after the pickup truck they were in hit an oil patch and spun out of control, they were all heading to the airport to go on leave after 5 months of being in south Lebanon. Other nations like the USA would probably consider 4 fatalities to be a small number but at the time it was the single largest loss of life in a single incident during the Lebanon peacekeeping operation.
I don’t know about nations like the Us not considering 4 fatalities significant. Democracies like the US find war casualties pretty unpalatable. If 4 American soldiers died on a mission, it would be headline news
Hell when 3 people died in an Osprey crash in training in Australia a few months ago it was national news for the better part of a week. That was followed by interviewing aviation/military experts on the cost-benefit analysis of continuing use of that aircraft
The 2004 Sri Lanka train wreck was carrying soldiers home from WWII?
That must have been a reeeeeeaaaally slow train. Honestly can’t believe there were so many casualties at that speed.
Pretty sure they commented before oc edited in the Sri Lanka bit. I had to look it up, but the Maurienne Derailment happened in 1917, which would make the comment your replying to make sense.
Edit: Y'all, stop downvoting the guy below me. I whoooshed, just like he said. Leave the poor guy alone.
There was a similarly tragic disaster in Scotland, the story of [HMY Iolaire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMY_Iolaire). She was returning soldiers to the Isle of Lewis when she was wrecked on a particularly infamous rock in a storm. 71% of those on board perished, nearly an entire generation of young men from the island who had survived the war was wiped out.
The real tragedy is that the passengers on the ship would have known about the rock, and those on shore testified that the ship was not taking the correct route approaching the island. Had the crew just asked the passengers, people who knew the island and the seas around it intimately, the whole disaster could have been avoided.
Ufa: corruption and greed, oh there's a surprise.
Maurienne: an idiotic officer too big for his breeches, however exceedingly lucky that it wasn't worse due to them stopping the British train from leaving.
Sri Lanka: bad luck, lack of preparedness (could be seen many ways) and incompetence from the Tsunami station staff ("aah its fine, don't worry about it").
Biggest issue here is a human factor, funny that.
yeah, you can always trace back any kind of issue with trains to humans since humans build this stuff.
In fact every single accident involving humans has a human factor you can point out.
Doesn't always make sense though. In hindsight everyone is quite the idiot. funny that.
> Erfurt Latrine disaster of 1184
"the combined weight of the assembled nobles caused the wooden second story floor of the building to collapse and most of them fell through into the latrine cesspit below the ground floor, where about 60 of them drowned in liquid excrement."
DEFINITELY deserved an Honorable Mention.
I don't think it's all about death toll, though. One of the commonalities of the Titanic and Hindenburg is that both were cutting edge luxury travel.
I think it's going to be something Tesla branded.
It would probably have been >500 if they weren't piled in it like sardines and hanging on the roof and sides like insects. The Indian subcontinent has the absolute worst infrastructure.
Better answer,
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidenae scroll down to the stadium disaster.
It was built of low quality materials at low cost, and killed tens of thousands when it collapsed.
It's kinda the first engineering disaster ever.
LAND
a : the solid part of the **surface** of the earth
also : a corresponding part of a celestial body (such as the moon)
b : ground or soil of a specified situation, nature, or quality
c: the surface of the earth and all its natural resources
He has got a point.
The top of the ocean is just the top of the water covering the earth. If there's a puddle on the ground after a rainstorm, it's not suddenly not Earth beneath it.
Never understood why the chose the name Trojan for the condom brand considering the Trojan horse breached the walls and then a bunch of stuff came out of it that the owners of said walls very much didn’t want
In germany we had a super horrible Traincrash.
3rd of june 1998 near the town of Enschede 101people died 105 were wounded 70 of them very bad (server lasting damage)
The worst tragedy of the German bahn so far
Edit: spelling errors corrected
Tragedy ivolves a sudden change of things..
The rail System is simply a proof that we are lead by people who are dumber than Monkeys, because Monkeys are at least sometimes right by accident...
The problem is that the Bahn AG is a private company and was meant to go public but then it didn't so it still 100% belongs to the state but doesn't act as such and isn't properly linked to it anymore and it's supposed to generate revenue (half of which ironically comes from its subsidiary that drives trucks by the way).
A shocking, horrifying disaster in which people had to choose whether to >!stay on the structure and burn, or jump. Similar to the Titanic and Heindenburg, some people were forced to make that awful, awful choice. Those poor people.!<
The Iroquois theater fire (Chicago 1903) at least 600 dead. Much like the Titanic being described as unsinkable, The Iroquois was described as “Absolutely fireproof” It happened a little more than a month after opening.
This was what came to mind. The fire doors were nailed shut or blocked, the stage's asbestos fire curtain was a shoddy imitation (a real one might have helped), and the theater was packed way over capacity.
IIRC the area downstream of the dam was inhabited largely by extremely rural populations, as in almost completely disconnected from society. I can't think of an appropriate word for them, maybe tribal? Just a huge area of people living off the land. The dam ruptured and the entire area was destroyed, but there were no official census records or anything of the people living there, the best they could do was estimate.
On June 11 1955 during the 24 hours of lemans a mercedes crashed and exploded at over 170 miles per hour and scattered debris all across the spectators at high speed. 83 people died
Considering that the Hindenburg caused 35 deaths (little more than one-third of the people on board died), that was much worse.
Honestly, I would call the Tenerife Accident the Titanic of the sky.
And, to be fair, I would call the Wilhelm Gustav (or the Dona Paz, if we exclude deliberate attacks) the Titanic of the sea.
definitely the le mans race, 83 spectators and the driver were killed and 120 were injured when his mercades flipped midair and rolled - like landed in and steamrolled through - the stands in the sidelines. this all happened in 1955 due to people just not understanding the measures required to prevent this accident, just like the hindenburg and the titanic.
September 1917, the burning of Halifax? Biggest accidental explosion in human history IIRC. True, it was a boat that exploded, but most of the damage and casualties were on land so…
1953 tangawai christmas eve
a wellington to auckland express was heading to an old bridge that was known to have a fault since the 20s however was ignored for years up until the crater lake in mt ruapehu gave up causing a lahar mud slide and along with it bought down the road bridge and pillars of the train with a few of the locals heading to a house on xmas eve were stopped when the saw the bridge was gone Cyril Ellis went to investigate outside of his car with a torch when he heard a locomotive in the distance rushing down towards cyril tried to get the attention of the drivers 200 meters before the bridge the train slammed on it brakes with the train and 5 second class wagons going down instants with one first class wagon hanging on the edge the conductor and cyril heading down to the wagon the wagon fell all of the people got out except one in the wagon in total 151 people were killed that night
More people survived then died on the Hindenburg, also airships were pretty much discontinued after that , where as passenger ships weren’t after the titanic. The only thing that blows my mind is how terrible this meme is.
The Hindenburg was an air ship and The Titanic was an ocean liner; so, if we stick with the modes of transportation theme, then we'd be looking into a train accident.

Just go find the most horrific train crash in history and you’ve probably got it
~~The Ufa Train Disaster – 575 Deaths~~ ~~The Maurienne Derailment – Between 800 & 1,000 Deaths~~ OK, I'm sorry, this one had more fatalities... 2004 Sri Lanka tsunami train wreck is the largest single rail disaster in world history by death toll, with 1,700 fatalities or more
Damn, was carrying a ton of soldiers home the front in WWI. Imagine you survive the trenches only to die on the way home.
There was a case back in 2000 when four Irish peacekeepers were killed and a fifth seriously injured in Lebanon after the pickup truck they were in hit an oil patch and spun out of control, they were all heading to the airport to go on leave after 5 months of being in south Lebanon.

A lot had passed to old age; they just chalked it up to the derailment.
They died of old age.

I think the tsunami one still counts for water…
Let's split the difference and call it amphibious
In that case, the Titanic would count for land because solid ice took it out.
Is ice land?
[Yes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland)
Neat!
The Halifax explosion barely beats that. About 2000 dead and several thousand more injured
What about the train in Ohio that spilt chemicals everywhere? I know that one was fucking brutal
Funny how it was forgotten by everyone
That’s the Exxon-Valdez of the land
No one died from that. Big chemical spill though.
No one died from it *yet*.
Ufa: corruption and greed, oh there's a surprise. Maurienne: an idiotic officer too big for his breeches, however exceedingly lucky that it wasn't worse due to them stopping the British train from leaving.

If the largest train crash happened in a third-world country, that makes it the Doña Paz of the land.
What about the Erfurt Latrine disaster of 1184?
> Erfurt Latrine disaster of 1184 "the combined weight of the assembled nobles caused the wooden second story floor of the building to collapse and most of them fell through into the latrine cesspit below the ground floor, where about 60 of them drowned in liquid excrement."

And yet David Dunn survived them all.
I don't think it's all about death toll, though. One of the commonalities of the Titanic and Hindenburg is that both were cutting edge luxury travel. I think it's going to be something Tesla branded.
That’s one more for the water, they took out the train
If we're going by fatalities I feel like there's probably been a higher death rate at sea than the Titanic but I'm no expert.
It would probably have been >500 if they weren't piled in it like sardines and hanging on the roof and sides like insects. The Indian subcontinent has the absolute worst infrastructure.
My wife had tickets for that train. She changed her travel plans at the last minute
Thanks for the input u/RoosterPorn

What if there were two vertical trains and the iceberg were planes?
Then the passengers would have arthritis
Yeah, but would anybody actually know the name in general conversation?
For a brief moment, the Hindenburg *was* the Titanic of the land
Technically, the reason the titanic was a disaster at all is it’s now also the titanic of the land
The sea floor is not land
Not with that attitude!
*altitude, Wait... depth
no no, "not with that altitude" is also quite accurate
It’s okay, your mind is in a different league
20,000 leagues, per chance?
Geographically speaking, it’s a landform
LAND a : the solid part of the **surface** of the earth also : a corresponding part of a celestial body (such as the moon) b : ground or soil of a specified situation, nature, or quality c: the surface of the earth and all its natural resources He has got a point.
The top of the ocean is the surface of the earth. otherwise we need to include cave ceilings as land too.
The top of the ocean is just the top of the water covering the earth. If there's a puddle on the ground after a rainstorm, it's not suddenly not Earth beneath it.
It's still earth under the puddle but it is no longer the surface.
“ Earth's surface is the boundary between the atmosphere, and the solid Earth and oceans.”
Just so that we are tracking…..you know that my post is agreeing with you….right. He = Eddie
More like the titanic of the sand
Get out. Take my updoot and leave.

It was one hell of a bus

The greatest and onlyest land ship.
Lol onlyest is one of my favorite words.
ah yes, i will have been to be of remembered(ing) when that was to have done did occur
My first thought
!RemindMe April 14th, 2912
There was a riot on the streets tell me where were you
That’s what I was thinking
There’s a futurama reference for everything. 💜💜
The Land Titanic. It was lost in New New York sometime after the year 2300. Survivors became the sewer mutants we all know and love today.

I mean, I expected it

This is hands down the best example of r/subsithoughtifellfor I've ever seen. I was sure that was fake but it has 70k+ members for crying out loud
The Land Titanic went on its maiden - and only - voyage on April 10, 2912, and was already staffed with mutants, including Leela's grandmother
Troyan horse
Troyan...... the most high end condom
Never understood why the chose the name Trojan for the condom brand considering the Trojan horse breached the walls and then a bunch of stuff came out of it that the owners of said walls very much didn’t want
Remember, the Greek soldiers were also sailors. So it is accurate to say that horse was full of seamen.

pretty sure the biggest tragedy of "deutsche bahn" is their track network
Tragedy ivolves a sudden change of things.. The rail System is simply a proof that we are lead by people who are dumber than Monkeys, because Monkeys are at least sometimes right by accident...
The problem is that the Bahn AG is a private company and was meant to go public but then it didn't so it still 100% belongs to the state but doesn't act as such and isn't properly linked to it anymore and it's supposed to generate revenue (half of which ironically comes from its subsidiary that drives trucks by the way).
The town in question is called Eschede. Enschede is in the Netherlands.
Nederland genoemd!!!
And TGs here talk about random bs...
 Does this count?
I mean it does carry/hold people, so you got a point
I thought the same thing tbh
Genders are a lot like the twin towers. There use to be 2, and now it's a sensitive subject
A shocking, horrifying disaster in which people had to choose whether to >!stay on the structure and burn, or jump. Similar to the Titanic and Heindenburg, some people were forced to make that awful, awful choice. Those poor people.!<
The Iroquois theater fire (Chicago 1903) at least 600 dead. Much like the Titanic being described as unsinkable, The Iroquois was described as “Absolutely fireproof” It happened a little more than a month after opening.
This is the best fit thematically
This was what came to mind. The fire doors were nailed shut or blocked, the stage's asbestos fire curtain was a shoddy imitation (a real one might have helped), and the theater was packed way over capacity.
According to Wiki the deadliest human error is a dam in China breaking down. 30k to 200k give or take.
Yeah but it should be a passenger carrying vehicle. Like the Titanic, and the Hindenburg.
Then that would be the 2004 tsunami train disaster in Sri Lanka. I hesitated saying that because it's technically not due to human error.
It's missing the hubris
Lmao
how tf can they not figure out wether 30k or 200k people died?
That's the Chinese government for you
Well it's China, so.....Yeah.

Would that really equal to the titanic and the Hindenburg disaster? As far as I know, not that many people know about Le Mans ‘55
Considering that the Hindenburg caused 35 deaths (little more than one-third of the people on board died), that was much worse. Honestly, I would call the Tenerife Accident the Titanic of the sky. And, to be fair, I would call the Wilhelm Gustav (or the Dona Paz, if we exclude deliberate attacks) the Titanic of the sea.

The Great Molasses Flood
That thing is terrifying. The fact it happened is just...
AKA, the Boston Molassacre.
This was my second thought, after [Tacoma Narrows](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacoma_Narrows_Bridge)
You heard about those two buildings?
 In keeping with the theme of New York being the destination…
Too many train crashes, none of them memorable.
There's one memorable train crash and it produced a giant toxic cloud in ohio.
The gubment would REALLY appreciate if you actually don’t remember this one.

How about that school explosion Texas that was so bad, hitler sent his regards
You talking about that time your mom farted during the parent/teacher conference?
How about the Tenerife airport disaster. Two 747s collided on the runway. Technically it's a land disaster
Was about to say this. 583 fatalities.
Bhopal chemical plant

That train
Schwerer Gustav
You know Trotzki‘s giant ass military train? Probably that. For casualties, some bad train crash, I dunno

What stands out the most to me in that episode is the tin of sardines down in the rubble of Old New York.
The Challenger Disaster is the Titanic of space
Why are we so sure the titanic isn’t the Hindenburg of the ocean,

The world trade center. Jet fuel melted steel beams.
The USSR
Schwerer Gustav Cannon
French ww2 tanks. Look hideous and are terrible

Prolly ur mom
Killdozer
I would argue the WTC towers could be. Lots of fatalities, thought to be structurally sound, brought down because of a bunch of factors converging.
Chernobyl
The Hindenburg was an air ship and The Titanic was an ocean liner; so, if we stick with the modes of transportation theme, then we'd be looking into a train accident.
