As a Tradie I was working a Walgreens remodel, they had a TV that they had for sale. Just stopped for a minute to watch the lift off. When the explosion happened I just left for home. I was really interested in everything space and had already set my VCR to rewatch when I got home.

My OMG moment was realizing how many school aged kids had just witnessed the tragedy

Joplin had a bad problem after the tornado came through town, locals called it the Crud. Every out of town worker got it during the rebuild, felt like walking pneumonia. As long as you stayed in town you just couldn’t get over it. After about 6 weeks home I felt marginal better, a month after that I was almost normal. Same for my entire work crew…
