On ..."Thunder
in the Sky"
The 1917 Halifax Explosion Video, an ambitious video offering everything you-ever-wanted-to-know-about the explosion, and much , more. Ian Johnston The Sunday Daily News July 1993 "Thunder in the Sky", is a mammoth chronicling of events, people and analyses by scientific and legal experts which features rare film footage, exclusive photographs and interviews and unique editing techniques. Pauline Dakin The Patriot July 1993 Versteege worked on "Thunder in the Sky" for two years because he thought there should be a video on the Explosion and a record of survivors before it was too late. "I think it's important to put it on tape because they're all going to be gone. I was in tears many times." Elissa Barnard The Chronicle Herald / Mail Star
