TOO MANY TO MOURN - One Family's Tragedy in the Halifax Explosion Quotes

“In addition to the fireball, concussion, the deadly shower of shrapnel, the battering-ram of air and the eruptive damage of the low pressure system, there was another death-dealing phenomena- a wall of water. The explosion of the Mont Blanc affected the water as well as the air. The concussion split the bottom and sides of the ship, violently pushing the water of the harbour away from the blast centre.”
