Very touching tribute to victims of the New London school explosion. Let's never forget these children, teachers and others who died in this disaster.

Incredibly beautiful video/music describling a horrible event. Can't wait for the book. Stories about unknown historical events are usually breathtaking and it looks like this one will be just that.

My aunt left this school for a dentist appointment, 10 minutes before the disaster occured, I visit this school occasionally, and even today, people still dont like talking about what happened, a Museum across the street is excellent, has the desks, artifacts from the explosion on display. Even a letter of condolence from Adolph Hitler is on display..

If anyone's interested, you can pre-order from Potomac books. It's due out in January, but I wanted to be sure and get a copy, so I've already ordered mine. (My mother's family are all from Rusk County and knew many of the families who lost loved ones.)

Thank you so much for this beautiful video, my Dad was in the rubble for almost 2 days, and he survived, however we finally lost him to dementia when he turned 59, he lived for yrs later but never knew us, and my Mom said that he should have had a steel plate put in his head at the time, because he was in the Navy and got hit in the head several times, and eventually worked for Mobil and fell one day, doing some other guy's work but he was the Supervisor, and he hit his head. So it began.Michele

I love this video! It is so powerful, it gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. I can't wait for the book to be finished!
