Silent film.; Law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency personnel, and civilians in downtown Richmond, Indiana after gas leak and explosion. This film originated from WLBC-TV and was (possibly) a part of a segment titled, “Week in Review.” The station was created in 1953 by Don Burton. WLBC-TV Channel 49 was sold in 1971 to a local non-profit group, who changed the stations callsign to the current WIPB-TV, now licensed by Ball State University.
