Wheeee!

"In 1972, an unusually bright meteor from space was witnessed bouncing off Earth's atmosphere, much like a skipping stone can bounce off of a calm lake. The impressive event lasted several seconds, was visible in daylight, and reportedly visible all the way from Utah, USA to Alberta, Canada. Pictured below, the fireball was photographed streaking above Teton mountains behind Jackson Lake, Wyoming, USA. It was possibly the size of a small truck, and would likely have created an impressive airburst were it to have struck Earth more directly"

WIKI- "The Gare Montparnasse derailment in 1895 when the Granville-Paris Express overran the buffer stop.
The engine crashed through a wall and sailed out of the station, plummeting onto the Place de Rennes below.
All on board the train survived, but one woman on the street below was killed by falling masonry.
The accident was caused by a faulty brake and the engine drivers who were trying to make up for lost time."
