Toronto Disasters |
| Canada’s largest city often makes national headlines, not only
for its successes and innovations, but also for its resilience in times of
suffering. This collection highlights the wrath of Hurricane Hazel that pounded
city homes; it remembers the urgent screams heard amidst the tangled wreckage
of a nightmarish subway crash; and it recounts one icy night in 1904 when
flames engulfed city buildings. These tragedies, and others, epitomize the
strength and character of Torontonians in the face of disaster. |
