It's hard to believe, but today is the 25th anniversary of the Bonfire collapse. Before I came into the station this morning, I stopped by to pay my respects. I stopped at each of the 12 monuments for a moment of remembrance. It was nice to see flowers at each monument.
I was doing nights(7pm-Mid) at a radio station in town when it happened. I would often get requests from people working out at Bonfire. I woke up to a phone call and was devastated by the news. It felt like a punch to the gut. I"ll never forget that day....
Here's the 12 people that lost their lives:
Miranda Adams
Christopher Breen
Michael Ebanks
Jeremy Frampton
Jamie Hand
Christopher Heard
Timothy Kerlee Jr.
Lucas Kimmel
Bryan McClain
Chad Powell
Jerry Self
Nathan West
May they rest in peace!
K.C.ya!
