[QUOTE="keith99, post: 75526650, member: 211648"] The uncounted dead from this one accident dwarfs all American deaths from nuclear accidents. [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_City_disaster"]Texas City disaster - Wikipedia[/URL] One interesting fact not included in the Wiki is that initially there was concern over ammunition in a small arms locker. The whole ship was the biggest bomb ever to explode (as in size, not yeild) but at that time most people were not aware nitrates were explosive. The ships 2 ton anchor was found over a mile away! I remember there was a railroad accident where oil cars were thrown at least thousands of feet. I'll see if I can find it. [/QUOTE]
