Synopsis: In the depths of World War One, a French freighter packed with TNT collided with a Belgian relief ship, triggering a massive explosion that killed nearly 2,000 people, and flattened miles of the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia. It was the largest single explosion before the atomic bomb. With thousands injured, and many more homeless, the ensuing rescue efforts, portrayed in this dramatic miniseries, offer a potent symbol for courageousness in wartime.
