Versailles rail accident
The Versailles rail accident occurred on 8 May 1842 in the cutting between Meudon and Bellevue stations on the railway between Versailles and Paris following celebrations at the Palace of Versailles marking King Louis Philippe's saint's day.
A train returning to Paris derailed at Meudon after the leading locomotive broke an axle, and the carriages behind piled into it and caught fire.
It was the first French railway accident and the deadliest in the world at the time, causing between 52 and 200 deaths, including that of explorer Jules Dumont d' Urville and his wife Adèle Dumont D'Urville.
The accident led the French to abandon the practice of locking passengers in their carriages.
Metal fatigue cracking was poorly understood at the time and the accident led to systematic research into the problem.
