Tragedy at Kendal

.

 Hello the day is Sunday, September 1, 1957 and im just on my way to Kington from Negril. i am about 100 yards away from the Kingston Railway Station. I see hundreds of members of the Holy Name Society of St. Anne's Roman Catholic Church and 100 known criminals just boarded the train. its about 11:30 and we just took a pit stop. o were leaving now a we are gaining speed. OMG!!!!!! the train just derailed!!!!!

its about 2:00 and im lucky to be alive i have several diffrent broken bones but im happy to be alive. as i wake up i see Fragments of human bodies and scores of twisted metal. I see about 200 people lieing dead, and about 700 sustained injuries. this was the worst rail disaster in Jamaica's history, and the second worst rail disaster in the world at that time
