In time I will post this in "The Videos" thread, but for now I think it should stand on its own. David Smith Jr of Oklahomatidbits has honored us with this rare piece of historical footage. It is unedited.

I have heard about the footage Roger Cornish (current KWCH 12 Anchor person) shot but I have never seen it until today. It is still horrifying!

I remember when the fire occurred. There was a lot of discussion about it but I never talked to anyone that knew much about it. Did the drivers get out of the big fires? I don't remember hearing of any fatalities. Was dust/vision the cause of it?.. Luther

No fatalities, but it was close. Dutch Ter Steege in OkC gave me a very insightful account of the causes. It was several things really, and they all came together at the wrong time.

Too much dust

too many cars -A and the B were thrown together

And one specific car that didn't have a bladder.
