It is the most serious rail accident in the history of the city.[1] A signalling error had routed an outgoing commuter train onto the same track as an incoming local. The collision resulted in a 'horrible mass of twisted steel and mangled bodies' as the two trains telescoped together. The wreckage of the carriages was left piled along embankments under a highway overpass. The following day angry residents and relatives of the dead invaded and wrecked both Mangueira station and the busy Engenho de Dentro station. Crowds also stormed three other nearby stations but were repelled by police. The president of Brazil, Dr. Juscelino Kubitschek, angered by reports that the disaster was caused by 'negligence', dismissed three officials of the Estrada de Ferro Central do Brasil (Central Railway of Brazil).
