Biatorbágy appears in Hungarian history as the place where on 13 September, 1931 Silvester Matuska has blown up the viaduct with the Budapest-Vienna express passing through it. The bombing was attributed to the Communists and, as a consequence, a marshall law has been put into effect until October 1932. Below are two American newspaper excerpts about the event.
