french munitions ship crashed in halifax harbour in 1917, killed 2000, biggest explosion until 1945

>>79438075
Was this that Italian ship off the coast of New Jersey?

>>79438266
the halifax explosion was an experimental nuke.

>>79438331
The good people of Halifax didn't deserve such an atrocity.

>>79438384
yes they did, for plagiarising a place name from the UK

Don't know if it counts, but it was off our coast and we were part of Britain at the time so fuck it.

>>79438936
there was some problem with the bow visor that caused it to fall off. when it did, it also tore the door open, which caused the ferry to take in water. there was a death toll of at least 900, of which half were swedes.

Btw the exact location of the wreckage is hidden from public and even if you found it the peace of the dead laying there is protected by law so it's highly illegal to dive in those waters if you ever would find it.

extremely surreal accident.

I've read somewhere that the captain was last seen on the bridge, so he really went down with his ship.

>>79441214
Yeah survivors in the documentary said he blew the ships horn 3 times before the bridge went under water.

>>79438270
Yes
