The tigers, lions, horses, crocodiles, pythons and a gorilla known as the "Man-Slayer" followed as the Walter L. Main circus train careened off the tracks down a 30-foot-high (10 meters) embankment, with gold-gilt, steel-barred wagons crashing one on top of the other in the legendary pileup at Tyrone, a small town in central Pennsylvania, on Memorial Day 1893. http://www.livescien...ave-tyrone.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gummug Posted May 2, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) That's really terrible. Being somewhat of an animal lover I feel it is really terrible. There's a reason why, if you want to describe some event as horrible practically beyond imagination, you call it a "train wreck". RIP animals!
