6 DECEMBER IN HISTORY:
DIED THIS DAY:
2000 Manhattan, New York, U.S.A. – Wener Klemperer, actor and musician, whose career began in 1947 on Broadway. He is best remembered as Colonel Klink in the television sitcom Hogans Heroes. Aged 80.
2013 Houghton Estate, South Africa. – Nelson Mandela, Nobel Prize Laureate and anti-apartheid activist who spent 27 years in prison before becoming President of South Africa. Aged 95.
EVENT:
1917 Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada – A French ship, S.S. Mont Blanc, which was loaded with munitions consigned to the battlegrounds of World War 1, collided with another vessel in the city’s harbour. A fire broke out and ignited the caro, which then exploded.
The explosion, which was the largest caused by humans prior to the advent of nuclear weapons, obliterated a large part of the city. This, plus a tsunami cause by the explosion, caused over 2,000 deaths, serious injuries to 9,000 others, left 25,000 homeless and shattered windows 100 kilometres away.
