On 12 November 2000, at least 155 skiers lost their lives in a tunnel fire on the Kaprun railway, which was built to take passengers up the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier in the Austrian Alps. The fire was caused by a blocked heating ventilator in the driver's cab, which led to the ignition of leaking hydraulic oil.
