The event will happen in about in about 30 seconds. the person who fell was trying to stand between the last passenger car and the open gon that was on the back of the train. When he fell he was grabbing at any thing he could, which was my mother. She was almost pulled into the event but someone got a hold of her and held on. That night my father who was not on the train that day said he and Otto Perry were taking photos and herd a loud thud and look down to see some one laying on the ground covered in cinders and bleeding . badly around the head. After the train stopped and backed up so the conductor or Mr Jones could use the phone box to call for help We waited till they came The crew wasn't planning to take on water at Lava, And I cant remember if they did because of sitting hot for so long.
