A substantial part of the National Shell Filling Factory was destroyed in an explosion of eight tons of TNT on 1 July 1918. In all 134 people were killed, of whom only 32 could be positively identified, and a further 250 were injured. The unidentified bodies are in a mass grave in St. Mary's Church, Attenborough. The blast was reportedly heard twenty miles away.

A few months later, on 1 July, 1918, 250 workers were killed when eight tons of these TNT explosive at the factory blew up.

Only 32 bodies could be positively identified.

This is not about who's better than others, but about who built the pyramid. And, of course, you could go through the so called education in Africa and remain blind to African history. In fact, the educational system was exactly created to keep you in your present state of mind.

First 3 universities in the world were also in Africa. Are you also doubting that? See guiness world records published by white people, oldest university in the world was in Fez Morocco http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/oldest-university What they don't even know is the Sankore university in Timbuktu predates Fez university.

I don't know when you stopped reading, but be informed while you stopped reading black people has long challenged what white people told you in the 80's and your white masters are beginning to succumb to truth. There's only so long the truth could be hiden.

But, I want to ask you; Who did you learn were the first people to live on planet earth? What continent did they live?

my brother see u are knowledgeable guy obviously and you will beat many whites in many areas of intellectual testing just like i have seen many blacks do myself included (i have a distinction MSc from the UK), but you see my brother people like us are very very few among blacks. so you see the average intelligence is the problem, too many fvcked up black people with hopeless way of thinking. why do u think we vote the wrong people into office? because the larger population cannot deeply analyze the position of candidates, the more loud and empty candidate that can draw on sentiments normally wins. why do u think pastors are smiling to the bank? is because of the average intelligence of the population! i grew up in a Christian home went for evangelism etc but by the time i could think for myself i already saw so many flaws in the doctrine and stopped some of my commitments to the religion, but how many blacks figure that out? i have cousins who have been scammed for more than 15yrs by preachers that promised jobs, marriages that never came, yet they believe them to the death! what is that called? dumbness! i once stayed in Johannesburg and its even worse, the blacks there especially the men are complete mofos. or do u want us to talk about black Americans? see we have our problem rooted in refusing to take or accept responsibility and that is why the black story is exactly the same in any country even outside Africa. See i rest my case

When people that have experienced war tell you they don't want war, they surely know what they are saying.
The first world war was a stupid and unnecessary that resulted in fighting with no dignity where millions died in trenches and diseases from the trenches, while second world war was an aftermath of the treaties from the first world war. If human being has continued the trend of fighting such large scale wars, we would have exterminated ourselves from the surface of earth.
With nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction on many people's hands, such a global war this time around will exterminate almost all human beings if not all which is the reason why everyone is telling idiotic president "orange face" trump to mellow down on his airheadedness and approach issues diplomatically. The world hasn't experienced a global war for over 70 years, and we will like to keep it that way Mr "grab 'em by the puss.y"

And the guy he is trying it with don't give an "F" even to his immediate family. The North Korean President.

An old African adage says "when the first white man appear in a land, the people die". That's exactly what happened to Africa. It's not about accepting or not accepting responsibility. After defeat of Sub-Saharan Africa by Europeans, it took 450 years of slavery and colonialism to bring us to where we're today. In slavery, a brain surgery was conducted on black people and the brain altered without opening the skull. Dr. Ivan Sertima put it this way "the worst thing that happened to black people is not the physical slavery, but the nuclear bombing of the brain of black people".

Our problem is we're naturally welcoming people, loving, trusting, humane. White people had exact opposite philosophy of life as at the time they made contact with us. Our goodness brought us where we are today. And till today, we're still hoping, trusting that white people is our friend and would help us develop!!.

By the way, this is a mummy of Egyptian King Tut- typically black in all his features. King Tut was the 12th king of the 18th Egyptian dynasty. He ruled around the same time Moses was born. He could actually be the Pharaoh of Moses time.

And, if you want to understand the psychology of caucasians, watch this video by a British professor of history explaining the origin and nature of white people. He was being brutally honest from the beginning. However, he started lying later praising the white race. I' am an advanced learner and knows such whenever I see it, so if anybody want to watch, don't watch beyond 13:00, cause as I said he started embellishing the story from then on.

in the year 1914, the highly 'intelligent' human mind has not only invented the LATE machine or the heat combustion engines. But guns, tanks, fire fighters and other sophisticated war fares. Technology in service of madness.

Hey Explorers, good job.
Read about this tragedy.
Actually it was 134 killed and 250 injured.
And yes, 32 bodies alone could be identified as majority were mangled beyond description.
And believe it or not, churchill ordered work to resume the very next day!

we have to thank the Japs for bombing Pearl Harbour for it brought in the US, who had been on the fence, into the 2nd world war on and saved the world from Hitler. PH bombing forced d US to have a treaty with Churchill whose mother was an American, and Josef Stalin a strange ally on the Atlantic Ocean to jointly declare war on Hitler. Explorer please give us that pic of the trio on Atlantic,thanks.
