The Halifax Explosion

[TobiPlatt]

Die Halifax - Explosion war nicht die größte konventionelle Explosion die es jemals gab. Es war "nur" die größte ungewollte konventionelle Explosion. Die Größte konventionelle Explosion war der Versuch die Insel Helgoland zu sprengen. Was allerdings nicht zum Erfolg führte...

The story of the Halifax Explosion always makes me sad. I can't stop thinking about the act of heroism that Vincent P. Coleman did on that day as a train dispatcher. Thank you for sharing this video.

Hi ediehats, great video! Wonderful images, interviews and contextualization. A great tribute. This would be perfect for the Canada’s Got Treasures collection, which aims to feature Canadian videos of personal or cultural significance. Help celebrate Canadian diversity by joining our YouTube group (/group/TresorTreasure) and submitting your video. It would be made available on our channel and website.
