1984
A dreadful tragedy occurred at a water pumping station of all places, in Abbeystead, Lancashire.
It was a state of the art pumping station, & had been built underground to minimise visual impact on a beautiful rural area.
A party of visitors, including school children, were being given a guided tour at the time, when an almighty explosion destroyed the plant.
8 died there & then, another 8 died in hospital.
The cause was a build up of methane gas. It had been constructed close to a coal seam, & this had not been taken into account in it's design.
Some of the visitors, strange to relate, were smoking during the visit, & it was this that triggered the blast.

Ayrton Senna won his 6th and final Monaco Grand Prix despite crashing heavily on the Thursday and bruising his thumb. He started 3rd on the grid behind Prost, who jumped the start and had to take a stop-go penalty, and Michael Schumacher who retired with hydraulics failure.

Quite a character according to his Wiki.

The Golden Boy of England Rugby, & Captain of the side, resigned amidst allegations he was messing with drugs. The allegations were later deemed incorrect, & he returned to the side in due course.
