I just came across this information and thought I would share it. I was unaware of the incident and figure some others are be too.

Thanks for sharing. I do remember having read about that in the past but always good to get a refresher. Amazing there weren't a lot more such explosions in these factories.

Sad that no one was held accountable for this tragedy.

Big explosion at Richmond Arsenal killed 15 or so young girls ages 11 to about 17.
