Thanks for telling us about it DG. I hadn't known about it. It is such a sad story and those people who tried to contain the fire rather than run to safety merit our respect.

Similar to this, which you may know about was the Silvertown TNT factory explosion, again during WWI. Enormous explosion heard for miles around and killed 73 people. Read a book about it once.
