The Grover Shoe Factory disaster was an industrial explosion, building collapse and fire that killed 58 people and injured 150 when it leveled the R. B. Grover shoe factory in Brockton, Massachusetts on March 20, 1905. Following a boiler explosion, the fourstory wooden building collapsed and the ruins burst into flames, incinerating workers trapped in the wreckage.

In the Disaster $11.99 Springing from Los Angeles's seemingly bottomless well of metal upstarts, A Love Ends Suicide defy easy categorization. The band--a quintet consisting of two sets of brothers--embellish an intense emo metal-core sound with guitar pyrotechnics surprisingly reminiscent of Eddie Van Halen. In perhaps a nod to the band's hopeful moniker, the guitars--attributed to Oscar Cairoli and Matt Garcia--add a ray of classic metal glory to an otherwise somber affair.The tracks on the band's debut, IN THE DISASTER, also offer another surprise: the occasional hummable chorus. Two singers--John Cairoli and bass player Emir Abdo--switch off between the former's yelps and growls and the latter's melodic refrains, most notably on the disc's third track "Of Day Dream and Fantasy." The one-two punch keeps the underground intensity at the forefront while offering an olive branch to the MTV crowd. |

Disaster $10.39 Based on exclusive interviews, the inside story of how America's emergency response system failed and how it remains dangerously broken When Hurricane Katrina roared ashore on the morning of August 29, 2005, federal and state officials were not prepared for the devastation it would bring--despite all the drills, exercises, and warnings. In this troubling exposé of what went wrong, Christopher Cooper and Robert Block of The Wall Street Journal show that the flaws go much deeper than out-of-touch federal bureaucrats or overwhelmed local politicians. Drawing on exclusive interviews with federal, state, and local officials, Cooper and Block take readers inside the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Homeland Security to reveal the inexcusable mismanagement during Hurricane Katrina--the bad decisions that were made, the facts that were ignored, the individuals who saw that the system was broken but were unable to fix it. America's top emergency response officials had long known that a calamitous hurricane was likely to hit New Orleans, but that seems to have had little effect on planning or execution. Disaster demonstrates that the incompetent response to Hurricane Katrina is a wake-up call to all Americans, wherever they live, about how distressingly vulnerable we remain. Washington is ill equipped to handle large-scale emergencies, be they floods or fires, natural events or terrorist attacks, and Cooper and Block make a strong case for overhauling of the nation's emergency response system. This is a book that no American can afford to ignore. |

The Unsinkable Titanic: The Triumph Behind a Disaster (Hardback) $14.99 Delving deep into Titanic s legacy, Allen Gibson presents a comprehensive history with a refreshing argument, that Titanic represented a considerable achievement in maritime architecture. He determines the true causes of the disaster, telling the story of the unsinkable ship against a backdrop of a tumultuous and rapidly emerging technological world. The book exposes the true interests of the people involved in the operation, regulation and investigation into Titanic, and lays bare the technology so dramatically destroyed. Juxtaposing the duelling worlds of economics and safety, this study rationalises the mindset that wilfully dispatched the world s largest ship out to sea with a deficient supply of lifeboats. Using original material, this fascinating book explores not only how the sinking occurred but also examines the significance and allure of Titanic as well as boldly establishing a future for the wreck itself. |
