I can never forget the date of this explosion because on that day around 8.00am my next door neighbours were involved in a road accident in Cullompton Devon their way on holiday. My neighbour & her 15 month old son were killed & her husband badly injured. Fifty years on I still remember seeing them setting off on the Friday evening looking forward to their holiday. Always remember you Vera & Andrew❤❤

Thanks for the nice comment

Hard to believe it's that long ago. We were in Cleethorpes on a day out and thought it was thunder till we joined the traffic queues passing through on the way home. It was horrific!

[@Master-Disaster]

Yes. Probably explains why most people have never heard of this accident. One of the reasons I do this channel - so people don't forget. Thanks for watching.

Just started on British rail when this happened.

Very well researched and informative. A+ material! Why would somebody steal a memorial statue? Disgraceful.

[@Master-Disaster]

There are some right scumbags. Thanks for the nice comments.

Great channel concept

Despite if being the biggest peacetime explosion I apparently slept right through it in my pram on the Riddings estate of Scunthorpe

[@Master-Disaster]

That is some acheivement! My in-laws heard it in Hull 20 miles away. Thanks for watching.
