Download Blizzard of Glass: The Halifax Explosion of 1917 AudioBook Free
On Dec 6, 1917, two ships collided in Halifax Harbour. One ship was packed top to bottom with munitions and one kept relief items, both designed for war-torn Europe. The ensuing blast flattened two cities, Halifax and Dartmouth, and killed practically 2,000 people. As if that wasn't devastating enough, a blizzard struck the very next day, dumping more than a foot of snow on the region and paralyzing much-needed relief efforts. Amazing, edge-of-your-seat storytelling based on original source material conveys this harrowing accounts of tragedy and restoration.
