PART 3: BURNING FLESH & HOSPITAL MAYHEM - We Need Ice - The Kingman BLEVE True Story

A man lies in the street, arms stretched out as he tries to crawl to safety. Pain and fear are conveyed across his badly burned face, totally black, just a thin mohawk of singed hair runs down the center of his crown. His pants have been mostly burned off him and the skin on his exposed limbs can only be described as paper mache’-like, pieces of flesh dangling loosely.

Witness and Kingman resident, “K,” wastes no time jumping into her role during the disaster aftermath. She rushes to the county hospital to provide any aid possible, and boy do they need it!

The details surrounding the victims of the ’73 BLEVE do NOT soothe the mind and body - Burn injuries, the wounds of the Kingman BLEVE victims, hospital mayhem, families in crisis and human suffering. It all ties into the “We Need Ice” message and you’ll find out exactly what that message meant and why it is so prevalent in telling this story.
