Dedicated to fireman across the world that risk their lives daily to keep us safe , #911 and to all that were perished on the day of the disaster on August 21 , 1916 at Low Moor in Bradford. R.I.P.

In this video we explore and find the site of the explosion that took place at the premises of the Low Moor Munitions Company.

They were dealing with Picric Acid that was used in explosives.

A massive explosion and a series of smaller ones killed 40 people including on-site workers, a railwayman and six firemen who had attended the fire from the Odsal and Nelson Street fire stations from Bradford.
