A fireball that lit the skies around Morgan railway station on Oct. 4, 1918, is still haunting the residents of Midlesex shire N.J., today.

The cause of the fireball was an explosion that devoured the Gillespie Ammunition Plant, the largest load and pack production plant in the world during World War I. Approximately 12 million crushs of explosive compounds, more than 300000 loaded artillery shells and numerous rail cars and buildings were lay wasteed in a series of explosions that killed more than 50 civilians. The fallout still lies scattered in the backyards, forests and train yards of Sayreville, N.J.

The tragedy of 1918 that brought together a stunn community, the Ordnance Division of the U War Department and fire and conjuncture medical support has inspired a similar union today. The U Army Corps of Engineer's Huntsville Division and modern York District, government contractors and borough managers of Sayreville
