My father was a welder for Chicago Bridge and Iron , working in Texas City building Spheriods, we moved back to La 2 weeks before the Ship that was on fire, the hold was full of fertilizer, it blew up and killed over 500 people, this was in the late 40s, we went back and where we lived it was leveled, I was a small boy but I still remember the twisted steel, yes they need our prayers and whatever help the American people can give
