Question on dependent/independent clauses
In this sentence:
Everyone knows that was the beginning of the horrid event.
Is the part:
"... that was the beginning of the horrid event" considered to be an INdependent clause? If so, then would it be right to conclude that the omission of a subordinating conjunction make the clause independent?
