That 1900 boiler explosion sounds like a truly horrific event. The details are chilling, especially the way the boiler flew through the air and impacted the train. It's a stark reminder of industrial dangers, and how quickly a routine day can turn into a nightmare, far scarier than any game like Granny. The personal accounts really drive home the tragedy.

This is a great historical piece! I love how it makes you think about how places evolve. It reminds me of discovering old builds in games like Eaglercraft, where you can see the layers of changes over time.
