This Is A Disaster

Episode 16: The Halifax Explosion (feat. Canadian History Ehx)


Listen Later

Our special guest Craig Baird from Canadian History Ehx takes us to World War 1 Halifax, and the largest accidental man-made explosion in history.  Canadian listeners have definitely seen the Heritage Minute commercial, but we promise there is 100% more molten rain, tsunamis, shattered glass, and chaos.  Nature even gets a blow in.
