2 Officers help an injured woman after an explosion at a department store in Windsor Ontario Canada in 1960
The explosion was caused by a gas leak in the basement & it blew out the first floor causing the 2 upper floors to collapse
This disaster killed 10 people & wounded another 100
The installing company was at fault & as with most disasters of their time
This could have easily been prevented with either routine maintenance & inspection or proper installation to begin with

The USS Indianapolis sank between Guam & the Philippines due to a Japanese submarine in 1945
Out of nearly 1200 crew members only 316 survived
The worst part? Only 300 went down with the ship in the initial event
The other 900 crew members were trapped in the open ocean for four days before they were spotted & rescued
That means that around 600 men died due to exposure, dehydration, salt water poisoning & shark attacks mainly by oceanic white tip sharks
