Description
Hundreds of neighbors came together at Bellingham High School Monday night to commemorate the deadly Olympic Pipeline explosion in an emotional remembrance ceremony in Bellingham.
"It is part of this town's DNA, and we want to make sure that the story is never forgotten about," said Bill Caram, Executive Director of Pipeline Safety Trust.
Exactly 25 years later, dozens of people came together to pray over cherished items that belonged to the victims.
In addition to the lives lost, 26 acres of trees and vegetation also burned during the explosion and more than 100,000 fish were recorded dead.
"Everything in that creek died," said Caram.
Neighbors were infuriated.
