Comments: I arrived there in the latter part of July 1952 and
left in July 1953, just days before the last 3rd Bomb
Wing sortie. They had cleaned up the grade 3 fire
area and there was still a lot of talk about it.
There were a few tents set up where it had occurred.
Big George must have become a legend in the dump
because I heard about Big George several times from
some guys who apparently knew you and were still
there. Big George, that area must have been jinxed
because several months later, an impatient 5th Mule
truck Driver backed in to a row of fused M1A2s and
blew himself up and all the bombs in the revetment
just across the way from there sky high. It was the
longest varooom explosion I would hear and I was
near the flight line later when 6 fully loaded B-26s
blew-up on the flight line one right after another. I
lost a lot of hearing from not only that, but from
working on the flight line for years and have worn
two hearing aides for years now. We had taken a break
about two A.M and our crew was in the corrugated
metal break-room near the gate. At least we had
that Bomb Dump in common. But sometimes we had to
walk there and it was a long walk in the
winter.
