A two-ton anchor was hurled 1.6 miles and buried ten feet into Texas soil - part of the deadliest industrial disaster in U.S. history that left 581 confirmed dead, 63 unidentified, and 113 with no remains. How did a routine cargo of fertilizer, noticed as warm during loading, turn into an explosion that obliterated whole neighborhoods?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from arrival of the SS Grandcamp on April 11, 1947, through the warm sacks noticed during loading, to the small fire spotted at 8:00 a.m. on April 16 and the choices made aboard the ship that preceded the catastrophe. What went wrong on a ship whose hold contained over 2,300 short tons of ammonium nitrate?
