Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Destruction site: A car that rammed into a hardware store triggered the chain reaction-a broken natural gas pipeline leaked furnes into the basement; which were ignited by the furnace; firemen believe. Above is the aftermath as viewed from the end of the block on Talbot St. Damage is estimated as high as $6 million. Four businesses and three apartments were reduced to rubble. At lower right firemen cool down one building. Lower left is the remains of the $10;000 a widow invested in a trophy shop.
