That was news to me too, but 875 gallons of nitro made a big hole! I used to sail boats I made myself there, when I was knee high to a grasshopper!
I'm imaging that chemist didn't fare to well in the explosion then...lol...?
Nope, but they didn't have to bury him...the hole was 20 feet deep.
But it is a great pond today!
:)>LOL...Does sound a bit like a tall tale...
You can just see him drop one little bottle, and go oh crap....
There is a picture of the hole on the picture of the park history...WOW!
The best tall tales are true, LOL!
:)>Oh my!
He may have thought that, LOL!....
