In 1959, a major KC fire at a bulk oil terminal killed six people, including five firefighters.
Here is some amazing footage and current items from the tragety.

Wow.
I knew a little about this event, but the 1959 KMBC footage was...wow.
Thanks for the video links.
And thanks to firefighters everywhere for their service.
