Accidents - Disasters - Fires - Floods - Tragedies

Oct. 10, 1968 - A tragedy took place last night near the town of Corinthos when two trains, fill of passengers returning from their birth places, where they went to vote for the New constitution, crushed, when one of the trains stopped on a turn to take off a woman who had fainted. Five minutes later, another train coming on the same direction to Athens collapsed on the stopped train and three wagons were completely destroyed. At the moment there are 35 dead and more than 100 wounded though it is afraid that the number of the dead will be much higher.
