On April 2nd, 1830, a Friday, it was the early morning, and multiple people were ready to board from Riverton to Drivore. It was raining surprisingly hard the night before. The train appeared to ride smoothly, until the curve, when all of a sudden, the driver, who went too fast on the curve, tipped the train, and 14 people died. This was a shocking stop for Cynetians, and the railroad had to be closed, it declined in popularity too. But they weren't going to give up, and Cynetia had completed most rail lines in the country by August 3rd, 1839.
On December 1st, 1894, a passenger train was heading from Invetie to Taxí on the mountain rail line. The tracks had been iced, so advisories were set and they warned the driver to go slow, but the train was fifteen minutes late to the job due to maintenance. Regardless, the driver decided to speed up to get on time, but the train plunged off a cliffside and 67 people died. It is the worst train disaster in Cynetian history. The driver survived, but was killed by a survivor of the wreck on December 5th. During his arrest, he said "His severe negligence and misconduct was a deliberate purposeful act. I had to step in and take the shot." Cynetia made the Train Security Act in response.
On November 22nd, 1999, a passenger train was heading from Riverbend to Yibble. Cynetia had just gone through an unusual storm outbreak. The train was trying to cross a railroad bridge over a minor river halfway through the trip. The bridge was already labeled as structurally deficient, but the storms have bent some bars and ruined the tracks. The train derailed on the bridge on a bump impact from one of the tracks, and in doing so, hit the structure, causing the train and the bridge to go down. 17 people died. Cynetia made the Bridge Act in response.
On January 19th, 2007, a small passenger train was heading from Kindport to Grand Rivers. It was a rainy day, the oceans were very treacherous at this time. A car, simultaneously, contains a family heading on a road trip from Rift City to Kindport. The train had just stopped in Sahatsie, when all of a sudden, the car slipped on the road onto the railroad, and the train struck it, killing all five family members inside. The train decided to keep going regardless, but eventually, on the curve, the car put too much force on the train for it to handle, and the train plunged off a sea cliff into the ocean, killing all 25 on board. Cynetia made the Train Security Act stricter than ever due to this.

On May 15th, 1956, during rush hour, a fire broke out on the bottom of the Grand Crossing, a bridge in Riverton. Cars tried to back away and move forward, but couldn't due to the traffic. One car tried to do so, but crashed into three other cars, killing one, a 19-year old driver. The infant in the car survived. Police were called to arrive at the scene to investigate the crash, and fire trucks were called to put out the flames, but it was too late, and the bridge collapses, killing 28 people. This was one of the worst bridge collapses in Cynetian history. Since then, the bridge has been widened to accommodate for more traffic.
On February 26th, 2002, a group of friends in their twenties were driving to Taxí to see one of their grandparents. Some of them, including the driver, were lightly intoxicated, and thus were constantly endangering everyone on the road. But everything been going fine for the time being. But suddenly, the driver decided to stop on the road side to take a break for five minutes. He continues to drive straight, and as he neared the mountain edge, he began braking. But, he had begun braking too late. Two of the friends, realizing this, jumped out of the van, and would be the only survivors, as the rest, including the driver, would drive off the mountain edge and fall off, crashing at the bottom. The incident caused a small traffic jam due to other drivers on the road being confused and stopping. This incident would result in a few delays, and a good amount of confusion, but would not change too much in the end.Hiuyju
On 18 October 2003, a car was recklessly speeding at 100 kmph on a small backroad outside of Moro. It began to drive into the other lane, ramming into the side of another car and knocking over a road sign. Eventually, it rammed straight into the side of another car, propelling both that car and the driver's car down a hill into a marsh. The driver, Brendon Edmonds of Faker, drowned in the marsh, as well as three passengers in the car it rammed into. One of the passengers of the first car rammed into was also mildly injured. The motive of this is still unknown, but it was reported that Edmonds had mental health issues and alcohol addiction. A memorial for the four killed now sits at the site of the marsh today. Guard rails have been added to the backroad.Made by Bstew
On December 14th, 2012, in the region of Wegdruck near Mt. Carer people were driving on the highway from Careria to Drivore. Nothing was out of the ordinary for Carerians at this time of year, it was icy and slick, with the weather being overcast for miles around. There were a few cars on the highway at this time, mostly civilians just driving to the main cities and back, with a few logging trucks mixed in from the Carer Logging Company. At around 10:45AM, Hayden Park was almost to his destination driving to visit family out in Careria, they were from Kindport and haven’t had much snow and ice experience before. So they were taking it carefully in their non-four wheel drive grey minivan. At around 10:47 a logging truck from the mentioned company operated by Mat Walker was behind their car, impatient after a long day of work they honked at Hayden scaring him making him speed up to a uncomfortable level having him spin out going to the other side of the highway where two logging trucks dropping off materials and one car of four people were. The logging truck hit Haydens car instantly killing him and suddenly stopping the logging truck. The van then managed to stop their car just before getting hit by the other logging truck in the lane crushing their car between the two trucks killing all four instantly as well and setting the car ablaze. As this happened Mat Walker realizing what he just did pulled over to try to help, but it was too late. In the end five people died from the incident and Mat Walker fully cooperated and was let go since he didn’t actually do anything but honk his horn.Mpia
On July 2nd, 2013, a black limo is driving recklessly through Matoria City. The driver makes sharp turns and maneuvers across the street. When it crashed at 90 miles per hour into a skyscraper, the driver, badly injured, escaped and stole a red truck with people in it, ignoring the thirteen dead people inside the wrecked limo. He went through to the east towards Zilaos when police caught up to him not too long after. He attempted to evade them, but as they were getting close, he crashed the truck full-speed into a telephone pole, killing himself and the three inside the truck.

On March 30th, 1996, it was a sunny day at Kindport International Airport and Kindport Air Flight 6271 was preparing to take off with nighty-eight souls on board, just short of the total occupancy of the plane. By 3:26 PM the plane was on runway 11R and was performing final checks to take off and head to Drivore International Airport. “I was talking to my friend about our upcoming history project,” restates a survivor, eighteen year old Wilmer Ike. At 3:28 PM, the plane puts full power on the engine and starts going down the runway uneventfully. Around twenty seconds later the left engine catches on fire and the pilots immediately try to abort take off at already almost take off speeds. “We heard a loud noise and the plane started shaking so I looked out my window and saw the engine on fire and shaking, looking like it was barely hanging on,” says thirty-four year old mother Mary Goodwill. At this time the plane was slowing down as the runway came closer and closer, but the plane didn’t have enough time to stop. As soon as the runway ended, the plane fell into the lowered land in the back of the runway, and slid, ripping up a slight amount of dirt around it. The plane then caught on fire from sparks and the shaken people of the aircraft had to get out as quickly as possible due to the imminent explosion while the emergency services were coming. The fire was luckily put out by firefighters before the main fuel tank exploded, which is a large reason behind the majority of the still slowly evacuating passengers surviving. In total, only four died in the crash, all but one from the cockpit. The cause of the catastrophic engine failure was later realized to be a dysfunctional part that fell into the engine and ripped it apart from the inside."Mpia and I both worked on transportation incidents for each others' countries. This was his entry."
January 4th, 2003 marked the worst plane crash in Cynetia history. At approximately 8:52 AM, a Cynetia Air model airplane was leaving the Drivore International Airport for the Kindport International Airport. It was a reportedly "stale" flight, according to the only survivor of the crash. "Everyone stood there like lawn gnomes. They had no emotion, nobody talked to each other or really did anything." At 9:15 AM, the plane noticed some slight engine failure. The pilot said, according to an announcement "We are experiencing slight engine problems, but do not worry, it is only minor, and we'll still arrive at the Kindport airport at our expected time. "This was the first time I saw emotion out of these people. They started talking to each other wondering if they were going to die." By 9:18 AM, the engine stopped, and the plane went down at full speed. The plane crashed at a little hill in between Heater and Wallosia, and 117 people died. Only one person, Dennis Rodney, survived, with severe injuries that affected him for the rest of his life.
On August 10th, 2008, a passenger airplane by Cynetia Air carrying about 319 people on board was heading from Matoria City International Airport to Drivore International Airport. The plane was planning to arrive at 7:17 PM. It took off and something almost immediately seemed to be wrong. There was an old piece in the plane, making it prone to a crash. They began to search for an airstrip to land. Passengers aboard the plane were concerned of a crash, and were afraid for their lives. They made an emergency landing near Balamarecshe. The plane made a rough landing and scraped against the asphalt, tearing it up and destroying parts of the plane. One person died from the rough shaking and heavy injuries, and many more were injured.Bstewotter

On 28 August, 2009, in Grand Rivers, Cynetia, a cruise ship was going along the coast of Southern Cynetia. It was part of the Cynetia Cruise Line, and it was planning to go country-wide, from Moro to Retnopi. The ship was planning to continue when it suddenly ran aground on the shallow coast surrounding Grand Rivers. It is unknown how, but the ship capsized. 58 people were killed in the incident, including the captain, but luckily a large amount of the passengers and crew were able to be rescued and brought to the nearby city. 108 people had minor injuries from the issue, and heavy lawsuits followed against the Cynetia Cruise Line. The incident shocked Cynetians and made international news. Negligence of the cruise ship was determined to be the fault of the shipwreck."Bstewotter and I also both worked on transportation incidents for each others' countries. His entry is featured here."
On February 5th, 2019, a fishing boat carrying two tons of dynamite caught fire on a beach near Sillowawie. Inspectors were called two minutes in, and after they saw the dynamite, it was determined to be too late to dispose of it. It exploded about four minutes in, and caused minor damage to two homes. As it is "just a fishing boat," the mayor of Sillowawie argued this was not an accident. It was proven to be purposeful terrorism later on. Many people have criticized the inspectors' actions and said it could have been avoided.
