Tangiwai railway accident
On December 24th the day before Christmas the worst railway accident recorded happened in New Zeland. The Train called the Wellington Ackuland express fell into the flooded river around 10:20pm. The river is called the Whangaehu. It is 10km from Waiouru. 253 people were killed in the railway accident. Most of them were coming from Christmas shopping and when cleaning up the mess lots of toys were found covered in the mud. A lot of families lost loved ones as New Zeland had less of a population then they do today.
