October 1888 - Imperial train wreck

Seven carriages were crushed, killing or wounding almost 50 people.
At the time of the crash, the tsar and his family were in the dining car.
The roof collapsed, but Alexander held up the remains with his bare
hands, which allowed his wife and children to escape.
