The 2.9 kiloton explosion destroyed nearly everything in an area of 2.6 kilometres in Halifax.
As water rushed back in to fill the void left by the explosion in the harbour, it created a tsunami 18 metres high.
About 1,600 people were killed instantly.

At 9:05 a.m. the Mont-Blanc exploded.
The blast wave shot out from the ship at 1 km per second. At the centre of the explosion, the temperature was hotter than the surface of the sun. For a brief moment, the bottom of Halifax Harbour was exposed.

The Swallow's Tail by Dali. I remember reading about it as a kid and getting really interested in catastrophe theory. So, more of being mentally moved than emotionally moved, but I feel like it had a big impact on my intellectual curiosity.
