The Crash at Crush was a one-day publicity stunt in the U.S. state of Texas that took place on September 15, 1896, in which two uncrewed locomotives were crashed into each other head-on at high speed. William George Crush, general passenger agent of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway, conceived the idea in order to demonstrate a staged train wreck as a public spectacle. No admission was charged, and train fares to the crash site – called Crush, set up as a temporary destination for the event – were offered at the reduced rate of US$3.50 (equivalent to $114 in 2021) from any location in Texas.

  • William George Crush był pracownikiem linii kolejowej Missouri-Kansas-Teksas. Obserwując gapiów pojawiających się na miejscu wypadków kolejowych, Crush postanowił, za zgodą kierownictwa, urządzić kontrolowane zderzenie dwóch pociągów. 15 września 1896 w okolicy miejscowości Waco w amerykańskim stanie Teksas, Crush umieścił naprzeciwko siebie dwie lokomotywy na końcach 6,4 km toru, po czym pozwolił im się zderzyć czołowo, kiedy ich prędkość wynosiła ok. 145 km/h. Wydarzenie opóźniło się o kilka godzin, ze względu na konieczność rozmieszczenia 40-tysięcznego tłumu w bezpiecznej według organizatorów odległości. Mimo tego, w wyniku eksplozji kotłów parowych, kilkaset osób zostało poranionych przez odłamki lokomotyw, trzy osoby zmarły. (pl)
