Maybe it's due to the improvement in vehicle technology, but my mind always goes back to the Canon St collision where a slam door train hit the stops. It was only doing a few Mph but there were fatalities and numerous serious injuries. This was due in part to the crappy couplings which allowed coaches to ride up over each other.
