SS Mont-Blanc, a French cargo ship laden with high explosives, collided with the Norwegian vessel SS Imo. A fire on board the French ship ignited her cargo, causing a large explosion that devastated the Richmond district of Halifax. Approximately 2,000 people were killed by blast, debris, fires and collapsed buildings, and an estimated 9,000 others were injured.</p> <p>Language: en</p>",
