Around 4AM on the 19th of Dec 2013 we were awoken by an loud explosion. Then more explosions followed. Upon looking up the street we saw a very large explosion cloud reaching way up in the air. We drove toward the fire and found the Accent Fuels Company on fire and since it is a fuel warehouse, you can guess the rest of the story. Thank the Lord no one was killed. One firefighteer slipped on the ice and was sent home, but no other injuries.

It took a few hours to contain. The fire fighters did a super job.

A few more shots are on the next page.

When I started taking pictures I had no tripod.








Notice the cloud and their movement, this is from the house again

Welcome to the forum. My wife and I are both orginally from Maine. Southerns from Portland. We even made it up there twice a few months ago. The first time I grabbed by daughter and went to Pemaquid Point Lighthouse and that was wonderful and beautiful.

Thanks for giving us a wicked good day.

Pemaquid Point Lighthouse is in Bristol, Maine and Cape Neddick Lighthouse on Nubble Island is in York, Maine. This is southern Maine close to the NH / border off of US-Route 1(1A).

7d. But thats what i have and its tiggerific.

Yes it does.

Yes it does.

33rivers - EAFB had a no flight line photos law in placed when I was there and i too wasnt able to get a lot of photos but they did open up the flight line to photos a few times and i did get some photos from time to time.

Since i worked around the air traffic control tower i got notice on the lifting of the no flight line photos so i was able to go around and get some photos. In fact one time i was stopped by the MP's and so they called it in and found out i was right so i clicked on.

I lot of memories there. I too would love to get back there and go back to some of the old sites. Oh well.

Thank you 33Rivers, I happened to be so blessed to be there at Edwards AFB at that time, and got to volunteer to the project.

I was in the 1925th Communication Squadron at the time and so we provided the communications support.

Thank you,

Welcome to the group.

When I was in the Air Force, stationed at Edwards Air Force Base, I got to be in the ground crew and we set up a mile long PA system in the Mohave. I got a front row in this historical event. Okay the photos are really old but maybe you'll be able to enjoy them.

Voyager as it took off from Edwards AFB, December 1986


Voyager in hanger as it landed and the pilots were awaiting a phone call from President Reagan, I punched down the phone line to a PA system for all to hear. He sent a telagram. So I never made it in the history books. Oh well.

Another show showing the damage to the wing which happened because of all the fuel in the wing as it took off. Okay I had old camera equipment and the shots are not the best. But I got better!
