2005 Veligonda rail disaster

The Delta Fast Passenger derailed early in the morning between Valigonda and Ramannapet stations, about 80 kilometres from Hyderabad in what was then Andhra Pradesh, at a point where a small rail bridge had been swept away by a flash flood. Carriages went into the stream below, an hour short of the train's destination. Reports state at least 114 killed and over 200 injured.
