The Victoria Hall Disaster

from Fatal Errors Hosted by fatalerrors

Like most safety innovations, the crash bar wasn’t born from foresight. Its inventor didn’t deduce that its widespread use would save countless lives in the century-plus since its creation using reason and logic. Rather, his inspiration came at a terrible cost. The price that humanity would pay for this knowledge was the lives of 183 children. This is the story of the Victoria Hall disaster.
