I was a photographer in the US Navy 62-66. I would never have thought I would
have to take photos like that. But when you are told to go cover an aircraft
accident in the mountains, or a fatal automobile accident on base, you do it.
The film is for the record. The images stay in your mind forever.

Everett, Washington. Silver Lake, I believe. Just scraped his knee when he
fell, though I imagine the blast threw his ears into a state where he couldn't
maintain his balance.
