At 9:04 a.m. AST, I'll be pausing to remember the approximately 2,000 lives lost in the Halifax Explosion on Dec. 6, 1917, when a munitions ship collided with another vessel in the harbour. A significant proportion of fatalities were children. We Will Remember Them All.

It debuted 61 years ago today, so here's my big, wild, annual thread about the guy from Toronto who created the famously British show.
And how he ended up as a possible target for kidnapping by the FLQ.
