My memories of the gas explosions are sketchy at best. I do remember going out for a fire drill that lasted FOREVER, the next thing I knew we were all going home. Most of the evacuations were on the Glen Park side. The school secretary, Mrs. Tomondi, suffered the loss of her home on 47th Ave. I think I was in 6th grade. For whatever reason I remember it was during the time the school was deciding about getting new uniforms!

Cheryl, I do remember the gas explosions. I will never forget that day!! It was so scarey!! We really did not know what was happening until we got home and heard about the explosions. I remember the Tomindie's house being invloved. This was an important memory of our lives growing up at BS.
I remember the gas explosions it was scary!!! I remember they loaded us in buses and we had to sit and wait while hearing sirens, etc. Some kids parents picked them up...it was a terrible thing to happen!
I lived on 45th & Garfield and we rode our bikes over to observe. It was like a war zone. Barracks blocking streets, fire trucks and police cars were everywhere. Dozens of hoses from the fire trucks lay across street after street. Every other block had an exploded house on it. The Red Cross was there passing out food. TV crews and reporters, the Civil Service, cops, firemen, good Samaritans, young and old, it was near chaos. Everyone wondering which house was next.
