Perumon, India
The Peruman railway accident occurred on 8 July 1988 when a Island Express train derailed on the Peruman bridge over Ashtamudi Lake in Kerala, India and fell into the water, killing 105 people. The cause was never established, but was blamed on track alignment and faulty wheels, possibly compounded
by a failure to notify maintenance workers about the approach of a delayed train that had been making-up time by travelling at excessive speed.
