The Halifax explosion was when a ship came into port and a colision caused it to blow up in the port of Halifax.

At 9 AM in 1917 the Halifax Explosoin happened because a ship, (the Mont Blanc carrying explocives) caught on fire because the ship Imo (pronounced: EE-mo) accidentally hit it because they had poor communications. Mont Blanc caught on fire and drifted into port, it exploded soon after.

The blast was so strong it blew windows out of houses all the way back to Dartmouth, and the shock was felt in Sydney 250 miles away. Because of this 200 people were blinded. 25,000 lost their homes. 9,000 people were injured and more than 3,000 were killed.

What else can I help you with?
