04.19.95-9:02 a.m.
Tim was almost into a parking lot when the explosion occurred. The wall of the building on his left came down and part of it hit his left leg. He stepped over a fallen power line and took out his ear plugs. He crossed Broadway and a lady came out of a shop and looked at Tim. He shook his head in a manner like he did not know what was going on. He still had on his hat. At Broadway and 7th Street he turned right. After about 1/4 of a block he crossed NW 7th Street and walked north along an alley. He crossed 8th Street mid block and walked east on 8th Street. After he crossed the railroad tracks and was close to the building where he parked his truck, a mail delivery man walked toward him. He looked at Tim and said, "Man, for a second I thought that was us that blew up", and Tim turned and said, "Yeah, so did I". As Tim passed him, the owner of the building and his wife were standing outside their store with the front glass of their store shattered. (and Hankins memo dated 5.10.95)
Tim checked over his car and got in. After about 30 seconds, the engine turned over. He let it warm up for about thirty seconds. By this time he could hear police cars. He put it in drive but the transmission to not kick in. He hit the gas, the transmission caught, the wheels spun and kicked up gravel. (although in Hankins memo dated 5.10.95 Tim said his car finally kicked into drive and he pulled out slowly, got onto Broadway and then on to Hwy-235 and headed northbound. Later, he said as he was pulling out in the Grand Marquis, the tires squealed somewhat and a man looked at him, but he did not think the man could identify him or would remember the incident.)
