From Wikipedia.
Writer Jack Woodford witnessed the Eastland capsizing from across the Chicago River and wrote:
"And then something caught my eye. I looked across the river. As I watched in disoriented stupefaction a steamer large as an ocean liner slowly turning over on its side as though it was a whale going to take a nap.
"I didn't believe a huge steamer had done this before my eyes, lashed to a dock, in perfectly calm water, in excellent weather, with no explosion, no fire, no nothing. I thought I had gone crazy."
--DaCoot
