Lithgow Plot : ウィキペディア英語版 | Lithgow Plot The Lithgow Plot was a purported assassination attempt of Queen Elizabeth II on 29 April 1970 at Lithgow, New South Wales, while she was undertaking a royal tour of Australia. The Queen and her husband were on a train trip from Sydney to Orange. ==The plan== The would-be assassins supposedly rolled a large wooden log onto the tracks when it was dark and wedged it into place. According to retired Detective Superintendent Cliff McHardy, it was meant to de-rail the train and, if it did, it would have smashed into an embankment. It failed because, at the time, the train was travelling unusually slowly when it struck the blockage, though it still slid for 700 metres before coming to a stop. A train had been through an hour before the Queen's train to check the line but at that time it was clear.
