Just ten years old at the time, Christie said the Kootenay explosion marked a definite \u201cbefore and after\u201d for her father, and her family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\" translation-block\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the morning of October 23, 1969, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kootenay<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> had just started a full-power trial as part of a training exercise off the south west coast of England when a failed bearing caused the starboard gearbox to overheat, resulting in an explosion and fire that blasted through the engine room.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\" translation-block\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nine men died from the accident, 53 others were injured \u2014 the fact that more did not die that day is a testament to the determination and bravery of the crew of HMCS<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Kootenay<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, said Commodore Christopher Robinson, Commander Canadian Fleet Atlantic, at a commemorative service on the 52nd anniversary of the disaster, held at Damage Control Training Facility (DCTF) Kootenay, a training facility named in honour of the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kootenay<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> crew.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThese were all heroes. A lesser crew would have lost that ship,\u201d said Cmdre Robinson. \u201cWe owe a debt of gratitude and thanks to that crew, and the people who helped them afterwards.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Known as the worst peacetime disaster in Canadian naval history, the years following the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kootenay<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> disaster brought huge improvements in fire prevention and damage control equipment and practices on board ship. This meant new safety modifications to ship design and improved training for sailors, most notably at DCTF Kootenay, which opened in 2002 on the East Coast, and DCTF Galiano on the West Coast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Kootenay disaster was a catalyst for other changes as well. Military policy at the time dictated that Canadian service personnel killed overseas would not be brought home for burial. Four of the nine Kootenay sailors who died were buried at sea and four more were buried at Brookwood Military Cemetery in Surrey, England.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Petty Officer Lewis John Stringer, the ninth fatality from the Kootenay disaster and the only one buried in Canada, died on his return home, on board HMCS <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bonaventure<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an aircraft carrier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe official government policy at the time was burial in the country in which you died\u2026. No crew members attended any of these funerals on land,\u201d said Leading Seaman (LS) (Ret\u2019d) Allan \u201cDinger\u201d Bell, in his eulogy at this year\u2019s service at DCTF <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kootenay<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LS (Ret\u2019d) Bell, who was only 21 years old at the time of the accident and sustained third-degree burns over nearly half of his body, has been credited for his work to ensure the story of the Kootenay disaster is remembered. In 2019, LS (Ret\u2019d) Bell and 13 other survivors from HMCS <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kootenay<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> received the Wound Stripe in recognition for injuries endured 50 years earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of the survivors also had to deal with debilitating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAt that time there was no treatment or recognition of PTSD for survivors. You were on your own,\u201d LS (Ret\u2019d) Bell) Bell said, in an interview before the anniversary.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the past 20 years, LS (Ret\u2019d) Bell has spent \u201ccountless hours\u201d on the phone, connecting with other Kootenay survivors and their family members in his efforts to make sure the story of the Kootenay disaster and its aftermath is recognized. These connections have also been a source of healing for all involved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, because COVID-19 restrictions meant fewer people could attend the RCN service at DCTF, the \u201cKootenay family\u201d also held a service at Parkside Pub in Dartmouth, with representation from local RCN leadership taking part as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patti Christie connected with the group in 2009 after reconnecting with her estranged father in 2003, just three years before he died.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNo one knew what PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) was back then, but that\u2019s what he had. We lost my dad that day and I was sad and angry about it for a long time,\u201d said Christie.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now she acts as the unofficial archivist of the Kootenay family, keeping detailed notes and files on all things related to HMCS Kootenay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMeeting these men and their families, and hearing their stories \u2014 good stories about my dad \u2014 it\u2019s helped me understand him better and I feel closer to him,\u201d Christie said. \u201cAfter so many years of not talking about it at all, I\u2019m part of this <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kootenay<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> family
