capricorn Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 Halifax 1917 A sad day in our history. Human error played a large part in that tragedy. That disaster led to major procedural improvements in all our ports. Quote "We always want the best man to win an election. Unfortunately, he never runs." Will Rogers
AngusThermopyle Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 Yes, it was a tragedy of errors. Might have been avoided if the crew of the ammunition ship had not abandoned her without trying to fight the fire. (Notice how I'm being PC and not mentioning the fact that it was a French ammunition ship.) Quote I yam what I yam - Popeye
Moxie Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 I've had a couple of clients over the years who survived the Explosion, one was only three and she was speared with a sliver of wood in her eye. She was blinded, but she lost her entire family. So many sad stories to read about. Quote Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy
