On October 22, 1895, a dramatic train crash shook Paris’ Gare de l’Ouest (now Montparnasse).
A speeding express from Granville lost braking power, burst through the station wall, and fell to the street below.
The wrecked locomotive dangled from the building for four days, attracting massive crowds.
One of the most iconic accidents in railway history, it was all caused by a failed air brake and a push to make up lost time.
