Neighbors in the Richmond Hill subdivision reflect 10 years after an explosion that happened in the neighborhood.
Vicky Koerner's home was one of 33 destroyed by the blast that November evening.
She first rebuilt. Then, seven years ago, Koerner bought the plot of land and built a new home right next store to where everything happened.Libby Cruz moved into the neighborhood 10 months after the explosion. Her newly bought home came with extensive damage. Ten years later, the site of the explosion is vacant. Two other plots nearby are too. On the 10-year mark, Cruz mentioned that many were posting their own accounts of what happened that day.
Cruz said through tears: “Just knowing that we lost our neighbors. We lost two people that should be alive.”“As the explosion shows us, possessions don’t matter. The things that matter are the people, the ones that lost their lives, the ones that are hurting now,” Cruz said.
