<dc:title>The Tay Bridge Disaster of 1879</dc:title>
<dc:subject>Intangible Heritage</dc:subject>
<dc:description>A well-known and documented railway disaster. The Tay Bridge disaster was a tragic event that occurred on December 28, 1879, when the central spans of the newly built Tay Rail Bridge in Scotland collapsed during a severe storm. A train carrying approximately 75 passengers and crew was crossing the bridge at the time and plunged into the icy waters of the River Tay, resulting in the loss of all aboard. The disaster shocked the nation and led to a thorough investigation that blamed the bridge's design and construction for the collapse.
