September 21st, 1921 — Oppau, Germany.
At 7:32 a.m., the BASF chemical plant erupted with the force of two thousand tons of TNT. The blast leveled half the town, killed more than 500 people, and left a crater that would haunt Europe for decades.
This is the story of the Oppau Explosion, a tragedy born from progress, chemistry, and misplaced confidence. Through the voices of those who lived and died in its shadow, we uncover how a fertilizer meant to feed a nation became one of the most devastating industrial accidents in history.
From the quiet desperation of postwar Germany to the smoldering ruins that followed, this is a portrait of human ingenuity colliding with its own limits and the silence that still lingers beneath the soil of a rebuilt town.
