One Doxol worker is dead from the explosion atop rail car #38214 which occurred on July 5, 1973 in Kingman, Arizona.
Kingman Firefighters, mostly volunteers, race to the scene to extinguish the fire and prevent another propane accident. Time is not on their side as the tank car, full of flammable gas, sits burning in the hundred-degree desert. Town residents and travelers along Route 66 begin to corral around the flaming tanker.
In his testimonial, Kingman Firefighter, Oscar Lopez recounts the events, sounds, chaos, and the overwhelming HEAT of July 5, 1973. Additional testimonials describe the disaster down to the button, proving that memories like those from July 5, 1973, live, in-tact forever, in the minds of all affected.
