The Bombay Explosion, which occurred in 1944 while Bombay was still under British authority, shook the city to its very core. This catastrophic catastrophe occurred during World War II, leaving an indelible mark on the city and its residents.

The Bombay Explosion occurred on April 14, 1944, at the Victoria Dock in Bombay (now Mumbai). At the period, the city was an important hub for maritime trade and contributed significantly to the British war effort. The ports were teeming with activity, with ships coming and departing on a daily basis, carrying vital supplies for the battle.
