Even at 7, I vividly remember the day of the explosion. I did not get a chance to see the documentary and will definitely buy a DVD when they are available. Are you looking into trying to get the History Channel, TLC, PBS, etc.. to air the documentary? I think it would be great exposure to many people that are not aware of the enormity of the explosion and its affects on the people and City of Richmond. Thanks.

I have such a nostalgic feeling about my first city. I was born in Richmond in September, 1938 and moved away around two years later. I visited it often until I was 8 or so and have been back a couple of times since adulthood. The warmth of the city stays with me. I was not aware of the explosion that took place there. I know it had to be a disaster for the entire occupants of the town. Thank you for sharing this so I was able to see it. I just found your website.

Both of my grandmothers lived in Richmond at the time of the explosion, one of them was in the beauty shop. My Mom's childhood friend was Louise Marting. I was 7 and living in Ohio, and I remember my Grandma's recounts of it. I remember what downtown Richmond looked like before and after. I live in Georgia now, and both of my Grandma's are gone now, but I would love to go back and visit Richmond. Loved going to see the bison in the park, getting spring water from the park with my Great Uncle Omar, visiting the mummy in the museum, going to see the Thanksgiving parades back in the 60's and 70's. One of my Grandpa's and my Uncle Bill worked at Star Piano, and my Grandma's worked at the Hoosier Store and the Presbyterian Church in town. Thank you to the producers of the film "1:47" for documenting this tragic part of Richmond's history. I purchased a copy of the DVD by mail and watched it last night.
