You didn’t think the podcast was over did you? Today, you’ll hear from one witness, Kingman resident, and retiree of the Kingman Police Department, Don Martin, who was on duty on July 5th.
Don refers to July 5th, 1973 as, "A Day He Will Never Forget," and maintains that it was the most horrific event he'd ever experienced despite his past in the military where he witnessed atrocities from deadly truck accidents and homicides to helicopter crashes with multiple fatalities.
Candidly, Don recites his memories from the ’73 Kingman BLEVE as an active-duty police officer, from the moment the tank car exploded, to stumbling upon and rescuing his injured friend and fellow officer who was literally, ON FIRE, in shock, smoke coming off of his body, limbs and extremities burned.
