Re: [californiadisasters] Tragedy in Texas

The relevance of this to California Disasters is that such a disaster on that scale could conceivably occur here in California despite better safeguards now than then due to there being greater population density and coverage now than then. Just last year we had the San Bruno gas main disaster which killed several people and about a decade and a half ago we had a major gas main explosion following a train derailment a week earlier out in the Inland Empire which killed a few people as I recall.

The year was 1937. City officials received letters expressing sympathy from world leaders in nearly every country. Even Adolph Hitler sent a telegram conveying condolences over the tragedy that occurred that afternoon.
