In Part 2 of retired Kingman Police Officer Don Martin's witness he account, we make amazing connections between his story and the story I tell in episodes 1-7. It’s more proof that bringing this event to light is worth every, sometimes painstaking, minute.
We also discuss the PTSD many survivors were affected by due to this 1973 tragedy and are still carrying around to this day. Back then, as Don confirms, "No one talked about this stuff. You just tried to forget it." But there’s a major catch-22 in doing so, because we don’t want to forget those that died or survived protecting their community in 1973.
Finally, we remember the Kingman Police Department and their heroism which was on display on July 5th, 1973, but often takes a backseat to the efforts of the firefighters.
