Book Cover & Preview Text
Being inside a blast is rarely something not remembered. For one to survive the searing heat while being pushed overboard goes beyond belief. The painted side toward the blast was instantly blistered and pocked by shards of metal, solid and molten blasted against the opposite side. A quick thought came to mind that was shared by an old fireman. When in intense heat Do Not Inhale! The esophagus will instantly blister and close suffocating the victim. This may be good information to know while being burned at the stake and wanting to end the agony. This thought occupied his mind on the way to the water below. DON”T INHALE! DON”T INHALE! The trip was short and numbing. Surprisingly he was thrown clear of the protective steel building during the explosion. Regaining the surface of the water he was shaken but quickly regained his bearing and looked around for any possible survivors. Seeing none in his immediate area he decided, “So much for this job.”
