Events

The Diário de Noite newspaper ran a report of mysterious bombs exploding in the city of Porto Alegre since the month of January.[1] In May of the same year, the bomber, 24-year-old radio technician Herbert Rudiger was captured after maiming himself while fabricating another bomb. Rudiger confessed to the police that he was the author of the bombings while in the hospital and said his motive was fun he obtained with the sensationalism of the media.[2]
March
A crowded steam-powered passenger train derails while crossing a bridge over the Pavuna River near Anchieta station, sending two old wooden carriages broadside onto the adjacent line. A modern high-speed electric freight train travelling in the opposite direction ploughs into the wooden carriages, telescoping them upwards. 119 people are killed and more than 200 are injured, resulting in an outcry prompting a major new investment in Brazilian railways.[3]
