Several relatives of the victims of the 1944 igloo explosion that killed six depot workers attended a memorial service Monday at the Umatilla Chemical Depot.
The March 24 ceremony coincided with the exact anniversary of the event in 1944. Depot Commander Lt. Col. Kris Perkins honored the “service and sacrifice” of those who died when 264 500-pound bombs in igloo B1014 exploded at 9:29 p.m. He also highlighted their “families’ sacrifice.”
