#OnThisDay 1921 Joshua Smith, 71, was injured at Camp Hill, #Birmingham, #England.

He wasn't a railway employee - not all cases in our database are - but was working on a road vehicle near the lines. He was knocked down by a loaded wagon.

1 of 57 #NewProjectData cases #OTD.

@stokieadam @timspector The problem is staff off work, flight cancellations, hospital appointments cancelled etc ..not to speak of long covid. This is a wider issue than just how individuals feel. It's about community.
