Sobre este libro

On the morning of December 6, 1917, the bustling harbor city of Halifax was preparing for another day supporting the war effort in Europe. In the narrow straits, a French cargo ship packed with highly volatile explosives collided with a Norwegian vessel at a crawling pace. What seemed like a minor traffic accident triggered an apocalypse. The resulting detonation was so massive it briefly exposed the bottom of the harbor floor. It instantly killed roughly 2,000 people, blinded hundreds with shattered window glass, and leveled the entire north end of the city. Before the Trinity test in 1945, the Halifax Explosion stood as the undisputed most powerful man-made explosion in human history. This narrative reconstructs the disastrous logistics of wartime shipping. It dissects the frantic moments before the blast, the incredible heroism of telegraph operators who sacrificed themselves to stop incoming trains, and the blizzard that hit the ruins just hours later. Bear witness to the terrifying limits of early chemistry. Understand how a single navigation error erased a city and completely revolutionized global maritime safety laws.
