When Dean Sweet was found, he clearly was dead. No pulse. His crushed and broken body resembled an old rag doll torn and discarded beneath the wood, brick, plaster, and dust. A nearby wall was close to collapsing, threatening to bury the child further.

Dean’s body was removed with great care, then transported to the temporary morgue on the lawn.14

The digging contained scenes of horrific near misses and gruesome failures. William Klock, a deputy sheriff, found a youngster lying on the rubble. Before he could lift the unconscious child to safety, a precarious brick wall collapsed. The boy was crushed, Klock’s rescue thwarted by seconds.

Still the lawman pressed on. He came upon the legs of a little girl sticking out of the pile, her torso buried beneath. Klock steadied himself, and assessed the situation.

He took hold of the girl’s foot; it snapped off in Klock’s hands.15
