In 1896, an American railroad company decided to promote public transportation by having two 35-ton steam locomotives crash into each other in a major media stunt. Up to 40,000 people gathered at a small town in Texas, after which the two trains crashed into each other at 72 km / h. The collision was so extensive that pieces from the trains and the boiling water from the boilers swirled through the air, killing two people and injuring at least 20.
