It was catastrophic and I couldn’t imagine being any where’s near there when it explored. My heart still goes out to all those who went through such a horrifying experience. At the time a very close friend of mine was working across on the Vancouver side very close to the waterfront. He said he heard the first explosion and turned and looked out his office window and saw the huge smoke plum, then after that the second explosion, and the flames were immense! I didn’t realize that it’s been 50 years since!
