The Harbor Collision That Became a City-Sized Bomb

Описание: Halifax was not attacked. On December 6, 1917, two ships collided in a crowded wartime harbor, starting a fire on the munitions ship Mont-Blanc. Most people saw an ordinary ship fire. What they could not see was that the harbor had become a 20-minute countdown to one of the largest human-made explosions before the atomic bomb.

This Short follows how a narrow-channel collision, hidden explosive cargo, and a normal-looking emergency turned into a city-scale disaster.
