Trying to recall events in the past one would imagine is made easier by using the internet. Not so it seems, since at least two incidents I can recall quite vividly were rather difficult to find, and impossible in one case - one with a bit of luck (the first).
These were - an explosion aboard a vessel in Souda Bay, Crete in 1979, where a fire eventually caused an explosion as the vessel was unloading its cargo, and killing six crew members. I was on my way to Souda Bay when I felt a buzz going around the bus and another passenger informed me about what had happened. Which I saw when I arrived - shattered windows and other damage.

The second incident, of which I can find nothing (and can't remember the year), is where some deaths occurred due to the collapse of the ladder/walkway down from Montenvers to the glacier below (Mer de Glace) in France, and which we had used a year or so earlier probably.
Is the second an example of selective history for commercial reasons - burying bad news along with the dead - or just lack of interest?
Anyone else can't find a piece of their past?
