(not)- The body count there was due to structural failure of the coaches, they were not designed with any collision resistance, as was the practice of the time, I haven't checked about collision resistance of the stock, but the large number of deaths at Moorgate were because the train effectively jackknifed in the vertical plane: the rear of car 1 and the front of car 3 lifted up, overriding car 2 and forcing it downwards. The momentum of the train resulted in everything being compressed. There were other end-of-tunnel collisions on the tube where few or no people were killed, because the train stayed in line and the ends just pushed against each other without crumpling. The difference at Moorgate was that the tunnel was much larger than the train, giving room to lift. -- Clive D.W.
