9 NOV 2026 · On June 2,2015 a train carrying passengers collided with an empty test train, resulting in serious injuries to a number of riders.
Shortly before the collision, an additional train had been introduced to the ride's circuit. An empty train dispatched for testing subsequently stalled on the track, reportedly after a gust of wind, triggering the ride's block safety system to halt further movement. Engineers on duty manually overrode the system, reportedly unaware that the stalled train remained on the course following the recent addition of another train. As a result, a following train carrying passengers was permitted to proceed and collided with the stationary train ahead.
Two of the riders sitting in the front row required leg amputations. Other riders in the back suffered from varying degrees of injury, from whiplash to punctured lungs and shattered kneecaps. It took three hours from when the initial crash happened to when the riders were freed. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/violent-crap--7539544/support.

9 NOV 2026 · The Goiânia accident, was a radioactive contamination accident that occurred on September 13, 1987, in Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil, after an unsecured radiotherapy source, inside a lead-and-steel medical device, was found by scavenger thieves at an abandoned hospital site in the city. The thieves, and then workers at the scrapyard owned by Devair Ferreira, who bought the device from the thieves, used tools to open the device and expose the caesium-137 crystals (specifically a caesium chloride salt). Ferreira brought the exposed caesium-137 crystals to his home, sharing them with his family and neighbours; the caesium-137 crystals were subsequently handled by many people, resulting in four deaths – two of Ferreira's family members and two of his scrapyard employees. About 112,000 people were examined for radioactive contamination and 249 of them were found to have been contaminated.

9 NOV 2026 · On the evening of June 14, 1986, the fourth car of a train travelling midway along the course derailed before encountering the third and final loop. Its wheel assembly had become detached from both the track and car itself, causing the car to sway back and forth across the tracks. The car became damaged, and the lap bar restraints unlocked and released, throwing all four of its passengers to the concrete floor below. The train continued to move along the track and into the final loop, but friction from the car's derailment slowed the train and prevented it from clearing the loop. As it rolled backward down the loop, the detached car crashed into a concrete pillar about midway down, stopping the train abruptly.
Three of the four passengers thrown from the ride died, while the fourth was left critically injured with permanent, life-altering effects. The remaining passengers were safely evacuated and treated at a nearby hospital with minor injuries.

8 NOV 2026 · On 26 February 2013, a hot air balloon crashed near Luxor, Egypt, killing 19 out of the 21 people on board. A fire developed in the basket due to a leak in the balloon's gas fuel system, causing the balloon to deflate mid-air and crash to the ground.
It was the deadliest ballooning accident in history and the deadliest aerostat disaster since the Hindenburg disaster in 1937, which killed 36 people. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/violent-crap--7539544/support.
