After West, Forever Forward

On April 17, 2013, the difference between life and death was just 13 minutes. That's the interval between the time first responders arrived at the West Fertilizer Co. and the explosion that left 12 of them dead.

Scores of residents were injured in the blast. Three died. Homes, schools, businesses and other buildings were damaged or destroyed. A year later the emotional and physical scars are still fresh, but hope has blossomed, as well.

The KWTX-TV documentary "After West, Forever Forward" tells the story not only of what happened on that devastating night, but also of how the town has recovered over the past year.

It is narrated by survivors of the explosion, family members who lost loved ones, first responders, volunteers, and elected officials who all share how their lives and their community were impacted by the explosion.
