    This one always makes me teary eyed; I live in Halifax now and it's a beautiful city; it's hard to believe that we are coming up on the 95th anniversary of this tragedy.

    Do you find it ironic that another Vince Coleman, a baseball player with the New York Mets, threw firecrackers at kids?

    This is what every person should be like. We salute you posthumously, Vince Coleman.

    In the movie about the Halifax explosion, they kinda skipped this scene. I guess because they did it so well here

    The man that was featured in the clip was Vincent Coleman.

    It matters because the man did not get brought to justice. Not to mention the f--king her killed all those sled dogs also did not go to jail. Canadian judges are just TOO leniant.

    FYI The train with 700 people aboard it was full of american's coming from Boston.

    Boston was key in the rebuilding of Halifax and every year we show our appreciation by sending them a Monster of a Christmas tree.
