Larry Himmel in front of his destroyed home

Loosing ur home in foul swoop is tough to say the least!
We had a reporter loose his house in the 1983 Ash Wed Fires [Victoria - Australia], reporting it as it went up in flames & it has stuck with me all this timethough him having lost all composure at the time may have had something to do with it?

his son is my good friend

sux dood...

Damn, Stan Miller's still looks fine!!

amen to that lol

this is so sad!!! my friend lived in La and she lost her home

How this guy retains his composure in the face of this is absolutely beyond me. Now there's a strong reporter. As someone who's been in the business, I can say that reporting on that stuff is hard enough even when you have nothing to do with it. I cannot imagine, not even remotely, what fortitude this individual possessed to remain so composed even on camera. Hero or not, he has my admiration.

fire pwn
