    The insane thing is that the Halifax explosion was the first time in recorded history that people were treated for injuries similar to a nuclear blast. Had it not happened we wouldn't know nearly as much as we do now about the real world consciousness of nuclear warfare.

    @4:52 Now I don't know about y'all, but I find it VERY hard to believe they genuinely reached that conclusion, because why on earth would they possibly have thought that the crew of the Empress were turning toward the Storstad in fog thick enough that absolutely nothing could be seen, given they (the crew of the Storstad) could see the thick-ass fog all around them as well? The Empress came to a stop because that's the most logical choice to make when visibility is virtually zero. It wouldn't surprise me at all to learn the crew of the Storstad were just trying to cover themselves and apss the blame to the crew of the Empress

      I think standard procedure at the time was to keep moving slowly on about the same course as before, so you have the ability to change speed or direction to avoid a crash much easier due to the fact it took a lot of time to do anything with the engines of the era.

    What's scary about Lake Nyos is that it isn't the only lake that's capable of this in that region of Africa. Lake Kivu in Rwanda, a MUCH bigger lake than lake Nyos is also at risk of a limnic eruption. It is supposedly being halted by oil and gas drilling in the area, but some experts are concerned that it can actually make things worse. It's a very delicate situation over there and my simplification isn't doing the danger justice. I recommend watching RealLifeLore video on it, that's where I got this info from.

      There were differences that would be hard to show in this sort of animation. From what i have found though they were very similar colors there werre minor differences in the size of the black strip at the top, and both White Star and CPR would have flown a company flag, which would eventually get painted to the sides of the funnel.

    The 1919 Boston Molasses Disaster is another interesting one. The locals were actually stealing molasses from the tank that ruptured prior to the event cause it had started to leak and the company had failed to replace it. Some people reported the scent of molasses lingered in the area for months after the clean up.

      It is great to see. I just wish more people didn’t need a tragedy to come together for the greater good. But it is wholesome. This is why I don’t understand why war exists. If a comet was coming to earth to kill us all. We would probably just nuke each other instead of doing another D.A.R.T. mission. Which is sad.
      Take a look at a picture called the pale blue dot. Then you will understand, hopefully that we should just get along. Even with difference of opinion. We need not kill each other because a king/leader/president/whatever said here is a hun shoot that other guy over there. And don’t worry about him having a family or you know…feelings. You wanna fight. Learn mma, make money. Don’t join a military. Don’t risk your life for politicians who can’t even keep veterans healthy after service. Don’t take life for someone else. Ever. Unless that’s what you want. Just know. There are 8billion plus people on this planet. And only a couple thousand at any given time actually are dictating what the other 99.98%(all of us) should be doing. Not me. And maybe that’s my American pride in our constitutional right to freedom of speech. If it is, so be it. You control your life. Not some guy in a big building who runs the country you live in.

      I had heard about that guy’s historic sacrifice to save more lives from the impending doom with the Halifax Explosion to save more lives with sending the transmission out to the expected train full of cargo and passengers. I think it was a telegram/ telegraph communication line that he had used. His name was Vincent Coleman and he was a train dispatcher.

    Just to add on to the story of the Halifax explosion...
    Since the explosion only happened about 20 mins after the collision a man named Vince Coleman saved the lives of approximately 300 people. He was a train dispatcher who worked at the Richmond railway station. While people were evacuating he knew a train was on its way to the station and everyone on board would get caught in it and die. Instead of leaving with everyone he stayed back to send a telegram to stop the train. His message read " Hold up the train. Ammunition ship afire in harbour making for Pier 6 and will explode. Guess this will be my last message. Good-bye boys." With this finale act he died a Hero and as Nova Scotians we always remember to tell his story when teaching about the Halifax explosion. (Also as a side note the crew that was warning the town people of the danger only spoke french so the english could not understand the warnings making it so not all of them knew that they were in danger.)

    The crew and owners of the storstad never accepted responsibility for their blatant failures, even though investigative commissions and lawsuits unequivocally declared them at fault. The ship was ultimately siezed and sold for part of the 2 million dollar judgement. The storstad people's counterclaims were of course dismissed, and their public complaining only made them seem even scummier than they already were.

    Oral Stories talked of how Lake Nyos was cursed and people shouldn’t live below a certain area. They now believe the Co2 release had happened before but long before chemical understanding. So the oral traditions passed down it was dangerous and that people shouldn’t live in the low valleys.
