Great job. Excellent and informational. In Part 2 you read my grandfather’s, Don Cole, account. To add to it, because it wouldn’t be discovered until later, some of his organs fused together from the heat of the explosion. Regardless, he drove that ambulance back and forth despite the pain he was in. He would spend the rest of his life in pain and on medication because of it.
Lots of research went into this

Thank you for sharing this incredible story and keeping the memories of those who were impacted alive. Although painful to recall and remember, the story and those who didn’t not make it should not be forgotten. Great work Meg!
