Obscure dictionary trivia
"Mark Brader" wrote in message
Which disaster that took place in what is now (and maybe was then, I won't be specific) a part of the London Underground system is mentioned in the Oxford English Dictionary? Google suggests the London Underground has been mercifully spared too many disasters - not sure where "accident" finishes and "disaster" starts mind you... The crush at Bethnal Green and the wartime bombing of the other "B" stations... Moorgate, Kings Cross... Are there others? I would have expected some diastrous tunnel fires under steam traction. -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |
