"About 20 minutes later, on Dec. 6, 1917, the explosion of the other ship s volatile cargo laid waste to two square kilometres of the city, killed almost 2,000 and injured 9,000." WOW!!!! I just googled up some pictures of the wreckage left after the explosion. Devastating doesn't describe it. Thanks Don. similar thing happened in california in ww 1. I remember "Life" had an expose on that several years ago. . Wasn't it a huge oil tank farm that exploded? |
