Overview

On April 17, 2013, a massive explosion occurred at the West Fertilizer Company in West, Texas, leaving 15 people dead, more than 160 injured, and several homes and businesses destroyed. Five local funeral directors recount their personal stories in a round table discussion about how they came together to handle the disaster and the devastation that followed.

This video-based course provides an inside look into the days following the disaster through the personal accounts of these funeral directors faced with the daunting task of handling mass fatalities, chaos, and community devastation.
