The Tsavo Bridge, part of the Mombasa-Nairobi railway project in Kenya, experienced a tragic series of deaths during its construction, primarily due to accidents and harsh working conditions. Reports indicated that several workers lost their lives as a result of falls, equipment failures, and inadequate safety measures. These incidents highlighted the need for improved safety protocols in large-scale infrastructure projects. The deaths raised concerns about worker welfare and the importance of adhering to safety regulations to prevent such tragedies in the future.

Are the tsavo man-eating lions female?
They are actually maneless male Tsavo lions. The males of this region often have suppressed manes if any at all. It is due to the difference in climate that this happens. The typical male serengeti lion has the typical bushy mane while those in the much drier Tsavo region have developed an evolutionary trait to conserve water due to their habitat.

What are male lions of Tsavo Kenya famous for?
In March 1898 the British started building a railway bridge over the Tsavo (SAH-vo) River in East Africa. Over the next nine months, two large male lions reportedly killed and ate 135 railway workers and native Africans. Crews tried to scare off the lions and built campfires and thorn fences for protection, but to no avail. Hundreds of workers fled Tsavo, halting construction on the bridge. Before work could resume, chief engineer Lt. Col. John Henry Patterson (1865-1947) had to eliminate the lions and their threat. After many near misses, he finally shot the first lion on December 9, 1898, and three weeks later brought down the second. The first lion killed was measured at nine feet, eight inches (3 m) from nose to tip of tail. It took eight men to carry the carcass back to camp. The construction crew returned and completed the bridge in February 1899. (The 1996 movie "The Ghost and the Darkness" was the third Hollywood film to be based on Patterson's adventures in Tsavo.)
