Belated thanks for these. Great if anyone knows which 1918 newspaper should be credited for the Wikipedia article's crater photo? —

EDT
The article mentions the time as being in EDT, though it is unclear whether EDT was observed in New Jersey at the time. It had been
enacted by federal law earlier in the year but was soon repealed, and many areas did not observe it until 1966. But when I just made some grammar edits I left it alone. — Preceding

Good question. This was researched carefully, and EDT was indeed in place on October 4, 1918.[1] Sources differ about whether the initial explosion was approximately 7:30 or 7:35 or 7:36 or 7:40, but there's no disagreement about the hour. —

There was briefly a footer navbox added to this article named {{Ammonium nitrate disasters}} but I see no mention of that chemical in this article. As a result I've removed it and removed the mention of this article in that template. If I was mistaken, please feel free to undo my edits but before you do, add some mention of that chemical to this article, properly cited to the available sources. Otherwise links mentioning it that lead back here are confusing to readers. Thanks. --
