RonD1120 59 #4 September 21, 2013 At that time those incidents were referred to as "Broken Arrow" emergencies. I was stationed at Keesler AFB, MS and would surely have been affected.

They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
