They CRASHED Two Trains On Purpose — The 90 MPH Stunt That Became A BOMB

In 1896, the Katy Railroad wanted a marketing gimmick that the world would never forget. So, they built a pop-up city in the Texas desert, brought in 40,000 spectators, and did the unthinkable. They crashed two 35-ton steam locomotives head-on at full throttle. On purpose. It was designed to be the ultimate carnival attraction—a clash of iron titans. But the railroad executives didn't consult a physicist. They didn't realize that a steam locomotive isn't just a vehicle; it's a massive, highly pressurized boiler. When the trains collided at a combined speed of 90 MPH, they didn't just crumple. They detonated. In this video: 🚂 The Setup: Why an American railroad spent a fortune just to destroy its own equipment. ⚙️ The Acceleration: The terrifying mechanics of tying the throttles wide open and abandoning the cab. 💥 The Physics: Why the collision triggered a massive BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion). 🇺🇸 The Aftermath: The deadly shrapnel storm, the tragic casualties, and the insane reason the stunt was actually considered a success. 👇 The Verdict: Was the Crash at Crush the most audacious stunt in American history, or just the deadliest?
