003 - Civil Defense's Puzzle Rescue - First Medical Doctor Civil Defense Wrapup Untrapped
from Wild Pastures · host Edmund Christopherson
On August 17, 1959, at 1137 PM, a powerful earthquake rocked the picturesque vacation spot of West Yellowstone, Montana, leaving devastation in its wake. In an instant, a mountainside crumbled, a new lake emerged, and roads and homes vanished. Lives were forever changed as people were trapped, and tragically, many lost their lives. The author, who arrived in the area just a day after the quake, gathered poignant first-hand accounts of the catastrophe, conducted extensive research, and crafted this gripping narrative within a year of the disaster. The printed edition is enriched with striking photographs that capture the aftermath. - Summary by David Wales
