Accident of the station Montparnasse. Paris, October 22, 1895: A train coming from Granville couldn't stop properly and passed over the platform and the locomotive crashed through the front of the station, hanging from the 1st floor onto the square. Fortunately the only casualties were wounded people, except a poor unlucky news-paper seller killed by a stone of the building.
