The Mobile magazine explosion was one of the great disasters of U.S. history. I've always been a bit perplexed that it is rarely mentioned in history texts, and even on the Web there is a dearth of information about it. I suppose that because it came at the tail-end of the bloody Civil War, a few more hundred deaths just didn't seem to amount to much worth talking about. But, like the explosion of the steamboat Sultana around the same period, it was a disaster roughly comparable to the World Trade Center attack of September 11, 2001, at least in terms of the horror.
