My name is CHARLIE W. BROWN. I am a longshoreman out of Local 31. On Thursday morning, I was at this shape-up (1) and got called (2) to go out to Whiffum pier and load a dry cargo freighter. So I went over to the pier (3) and went to the pier Super's office (4), and we talked (5) about our jobs for that day. A little later, I was in the doorway (6) (7) of this here lean-to after I had taken the chill off my face,(8) and I seen this truck headed down the pier toward us(8a) . He stopped(9) and started backing(10_ up to the big gas tank. All of a sudden as he was backing up, I seen (11)this white smoke come out from under the truck(12) and start rolling(13) toward me. All of a sudden there was this big fire(14) and explosion(15) that knocked me on my can. I got up(16) and helped(17) some of the guys try to put out the fire. All of a sudden, there was this giant explosion(18) that lit everything up(19) in a bright orange color. It looked like the sky was burning(20). Somebody came(21) and helped me(22) get up, and walked me(23) past the firemen who were hurt(24). We got into a car(25) and they took me to the hospital(26). My clothes were stuck(27) to me. That's all I remember.
