What happened on Saturday April 05, 1958?

Here's what happened on April 05, 1958:

• Destruction of Ripple Rock in Seymour Narrows On April 5, 1958, Ripple Rock, a treacherous underwater mountain located in the Seymour Narrows of British Columbia, Canada, was spectacularly destroyed using a massive controlled explosion. This geological hazard had been a significant threat to maritime navigation, causing numerous shipwrecks and maritime accidents over the years. The demolition was a remarkable engineering feat, involving 1,375 tons of Nitramex 2H explosive, making it one of the largest non-nuclear controlled explosions in history at that time. The operation was meticulously planned to minimize environmental impact and remove the navigational hazard, dramatically improving safety for marine traffic in the narrow passage.
