Innocuous In Innisfil 🇨🇦Good Morning #Canada
On April 5, 1958, the world's largest non-nuclear peacetime explosion took place under the Campbell River in British Columbia. The explosion that blew Ripple Rock to bits only took a few seconds, but it was a major engineering feat years in the making. It was also one of the first events to be broadcast live across the country by the CBC.

Ripple Rock, an underwater mountain within Seymour Narrows near Campbell River BC, was a marine hazard responsible for more than 20 large vessels and at least 100 smaller vessels sinking or being damaged. Before its destruction in 1958, Ripple Rock claimed at least 114 lives.
