===Intro===

My biggest concern for the intro is how long it is. Consider shortening.

=History=

==Background==

Good.

==Explosion==

"Bricks and other debris flew into all directions."

  • This sentence is not in the source. Cite or remove.

"...including send who were blinded."

  • This word doesn't make sense here.

==Aftermath==

Good.

==Monument==

Good.

==Later History==

Good.

=See Also=

Why is the Allegheny Arsenal explosion listed here?

  • I thought it was related since they were both explosions at arsenals during the Civil War. I can remove if you disagree. APK hi :-) (talk) 03:31, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
