The explosion so devastating that the one incident is responsible for 15 of the africanamerican able casualties. One small explosion followed a few seconds later by a massive explosion. This one was so powerful that it registered as a 3. 4 on the Richter Scale as if it were an earthquake. The africanamerican sailors doing the dangerous work were not properly trained. Commanding officers were encouraged to compete to see who could load faster. 250 sailors were asked about one month later to begin doing the exact same dangerous task again without proper Safety Training or measures. They were given the order to load ships again. About point, about 200 of them stopped short.
