Kaprun disaster

The Gletscherbahn Kaprun 2 funicular train waiting at the lower valley station. The train involved caught fire shortly after leaving the valley station and entered the tunnel where it came to a halt. The tunnel entrance is visible in the background.

On 11 November 2000, a fire in the tunnel of Gletscherbahn Kaprun 2 funicular in Kaprun, Austria, killed 155 people. The cause was traced to a faulty fan heater. Most of the victims were skiers on their way to the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier. To date, this incident remains the deadliest rail disaster in Austrian history.
