[PSYCHO-FREEP]

The Texas City disaster was the result of a '20's cargo ship that had no safety standards from a crew level on down to equipment.

The chemical plant that caused the chain reaction was also poorly designed and had very little safety measures in place.

By all the modern standards and precautionary procedures that have become mandatory, Texas City would not have happened in this day and age.

Comparing the cargo ships of today to the ones from that era, are like comparing lazers to candles.

But if the intention was for the explosion to not be an accident...what would happen. Ports today have so much development around them of an unfriendly nature.
