We do wonder about the story regarding Marx and Engels almost dying in the Tay Bridge Disaster in 1879. The story goes that they had planned to travel on the ill-fated train while on a lecture tour in Scotland, but one (or both) of them caught a cold, so they changed their travel plans.
It might just be an urban myth, this story. But if anybody has any definite information about this story, please leave a comment on the blog!
