On April 16th, 1947, the SS Grandcamp, loaded with 2,300 tons of ammonium nitrate, caught fire and exploded in Texas City, causing the deadliest industrial accident in US history and one of the largest non-nuclear explosions ever. The explosion, fueled by ammonium nitrate and subsequent fires, destroyed much of Texas City's port, killing over 500 people and injuring thousands. The disaster led to significant changes in safety regulations for handling and transporting hazardous chemicals. This episode of "History's a Disaster" explores the events leading up to the explosion, the immediate devastation, and its long-term impacts on industry and disaster management.
