It was a harbour accident involving a tremendous quantity of explosives bound for the European front and another ship, a Norwegian, which had taken an unorthodox course to pass on the wrong side plowed into the Halifax boat tearing into the side of the ship. A fire started and caused the largest man-made explosion in history before nuclear weapons.
A particular hideous disaster reveal a particular clear cut example of generosity beyond measure.
"Disaster, along with moments of social upheaval, is when the shackles of conventional belief and role fall away and new possibilities open up."
- A PARADISE BUILT IN HELL
There were many acts of heroism which crossed the boundaries of class and religion.
"This may point to an ordinary unmet yearning for community, purposefulness and meaningful work."
I was impress again when we visited Howard and Vera and Leah that there was a sense of community in the Nursing Home. The workers greeted one another and all were taking good care of the patients.
