[SystemSafety] Children as a causal factor in major accidents

Hi folks,
I've had an interesting request for a DisasterCast episode focussing on
children and major accidents.
1) Can anyone suggest a major accident where the presence or behavior of
children have been a causal factor? I'm looking specifically for where they
increased or determined the likelihood of the accident, not just accidents
with large numbers of children.
2) Can anyone suggest (in public-domain terms) ways children have had to be
treated as a special case in safety analysis?
Off the top of my head I can think of children as a special group in
population dose-response modelling for chemical releases, and the debate
about child restraints in aircraft.
[Didn't want to send a separate email to the whole list, but a public thank
you to John and Nancy for help with my last request re Columbia].
