April 16, 1947: A fire triggers the deadliest industrial accident in US history


April 16, 1947: Fire triggers deadliest industrial accident in US history The French freighter "grandcamp" is supposed to be loading ammonium nitrate in the port of Texas City in the US state of Texas this Monday morning when a fire broke out in the cargo hold shortly after 8 a.m. Onlookers gather to watch the firefighting operations and the strangely colored smoke billowing from the ship. the "grandcamp" already has 2300 tons of the cheap but highly explosive fertilizer on board and to protect the cargo, the crew tries not to extinguish the fire with water but to smother it. But that fails. At just after 9 a.m., the temperature in the cargo hold had risen so much that the heat triggered a massive explosion that could be heard more than 150 miles away. The ensuing fire reduced the dock area to rubble and engulfed the nearby Monsanto Chemical Company facility. A mushroom-shaped cloud rises 600 meters into the air and destroys two light aircraft as they fly past. Flaming fragments are shot through the air, causing further fires or other damage. The nearby SS High Flyer, carrying large amounts of sulfur, also catches fire and explodes. The detonation also triggers a 4.5 meter high tidal wave that destroys numerous buildings. The number of fatalities varies between 400 and almost 600. About 4000 people are injured and about 2000 residents of Texas City are made homeless by the accident. 75 years later, the disaster is still considered the deadliest industrial accident in US history.
