Explosion at Bristol wharf destroys hope and injures many
A flash powder explosion on the Bristol Columbia launch site wounded several boys and others while photographers prepared to capture the event. William Siddall’s son, a 12 year old, endured multiple injuries including a back wound and leg lacerations. Doctors treated many victims, and an autopsy was discussed to determine the blast’s cause amid theories of dangerous flashlight powder mixtures and possible mispacks.
