As much as we like to think it’s all about us, the disaster
at Springhill did not dominate the news from October 24th – November
2nd, 1958. It was present,
but cover stories varied and there were a lot
of other really important things going on around the world and at home in North
America.
Here are links to some of the more salient stories. If you’re interested in learning more about
what was going on around the time of the disaster at Springhill take a look at
the following links or research them yourselves.
