TRAIN COLLISION ON THIS DAY IN 1962



Two commuter trains and a freight train collide near Tokyo, Japan,
killing more than 160 people and injuring twice that number.
  

The subsequent investigation into the accident resulted in the
indictment of nine of the freight train’s crew members for criminal negligence.
