In 1943, the Port Chicago, Concord Naval base, had the largest accident in history. They were in charge of all the ammo for the Pacific theater during WWII. The navy had no correct way, or wroong wat to load a ship. This led to the accident.
There was an explosion, the largest non-nuke explosion to this date. The explosion killed 320 men in a matter of 10 seconds
