	Train wreck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Train wrecks were occasionally staged for public entertainment; crowds watched as two vacant trains were deliberately sent speeding toward each other.
		Because train wrecks usually cause widespread property damage as well as injury or death, the intentional wrecking of a train in regular service is often treated as an extremely serious crime.
		For example, in the U.S. state of California, the maximum penalty for intentionally causing a fatal train wreck is death, and the minimum penalty is life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
