The Halifax Disaster Colossal Explosion Ends Lives at Halifax
The Halifax disaster caused 2000 to 5000 deaths with similar injuries, devastating miles of city and radiating damage up to seventy five miles away. The single blast, greater than any recorded, toppled buildings and sent debris and choking air through the area. The cause remains uncertain, blamed on a collision between a Norwegian steamer loaded for Belgium and a French ship with ammunition, with blame unresolved as inquiry testimony is gone. The tragedy wipes out families leaving widows and children to struggle, while the broader war freight flows continue unseen.
