It is still regarded as the biggest non nuclear explosion ever. It Killed around 2000 people in the town and blinded many more. 9000 were injured. A ship, on fire in our harbor, chock full of explosives, went up with the force of over 3 kilotons. Every building withing a 16 mile radius, was either destroyed or badly damaged. Buildings over 60 miles away shook from it.
The city of Boston were tireless in their effort on assisting and help with rebuilding my city. To this day, every year we send a large christmas tree to them to display outside their city hall as a thank you gesture.
