He and a buddy somehow managed to insert a wooden plug in a huge propane tank's ruptured gas line. He had spewing propane all over his face and arms, but they got it plugged! It really messed him up though. He said it was so bad, that it threw him to the floor in his house and he couldn't walk, he had to crawl to get outside. He lived close to the epicenter!
I remember exactly where I was when that earthquake struck. I live in Washington State and I was driving in my truck to town listening to the radio when the breaking news came on!
