On 8 January 1991, a packed commuter train failed to stop and collided with the buffers at Cannon Street station in London, United Kingdom, killing two and injuring 542.

A 24-year-old man, cut free from wreckage crushing his head and abdomen, died from a heart attack on the way to hospital.

542 other passengers were injured, many because they had stood up ready to leave as the train entered the terminus platform.

The inquiry put the impact speed at around 10 mph, higher than the rail operator's earlier estimates.

[1] No fault in the train's braking system could be found and the driver, Maurice Graham, was held to blame.
