Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox public transit accident In the Indian state of Bihar, on June 6, 1981, a passenger train carrying more than 800 passengers[1] between Mansi (Dhamara Pul) and Saharsa, India derailed and plunged into the river Bagmati while it was crossing a bridge.
After five days, more than 200 bodies were recovered, with hundreds more missing that were feared washed away by the river.[1][2] Estimates of total deaths range from 500 to 800 or more.[1] By the afternoon of June 12, the government had completed its recovery efforts and had issued an official death toll of 235 passengers (including the bodies of 3 passengers which had not been recovered), with 88 survivors.[3]
The crash is the deadliest-ever rail accident in India.[4]
Cause
The cause of the crash is uncertain as the accident was not well documented. There are multiple theories:
- a cyclone[5]
- flash flooding[6]
- brake failure[7]
