Description

Images of The usa: Cleveland Area Disasters looks back on the historic disasters to strike Cleveland in the first half of the 20th century. It documents the tornados, fires, cave-ins, accidents, and explosions that befell the region throughout that period. Most Clevelanders have heard stories of the Collinwood school fire, the Lorain tornado, the Cleveland Clinic fire, and the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey fire; then again, over the decades, the actual events and the tall tales that followed have transform blurred. Some disasters, such as the West 117th Street explosion and the Waterworks Tunnel cave-ins, seem almost completely forgotten. Even if tragic, the disasters on this book affected the lives of Clevelanders and ceaselessly generated changes for the good, which prevented these sorts of tragedies from occurring again. Sadly, in some instances, they didn’t.
