Known as the London Underground, or affectionately as “The Tube”, since its beginning all the way back in the 1860s, the network gradually grew over decades to become one of the largest and most comprehensive rapid transit networks it the entire world. It carries millions of people every day to and from every corner of the city and neighboring counties. As you’d might expect, it hasn’t all been without incident. Today we’ll explore the events of one day in 1987 in what became not only one of the deadliest accidents to have occurred on the London Underground in recent history but also an incident that completely changed how we think about the deadly hazard of fire.
