Remembering human courage during the Texas City disaster 60 years ago today - KUHF reports.
"As I approached, the first thing I noticed was a big black man carrying a body out on his shoulder and laying it down in the clear, and then returning into that inferno, and then coming back again. And I stopped him, and I said “Are these your friends, or you relatives?” He said “No.” He said “I don't even know them.” He said “but they need my help and I'm helping them”. And someone told me that he had been down into that inferno a dozen times."Posted by Alan at April 16, 2007 06:49 AM
