RUSH EXCERPT:
PARSONS-PEREZ: “Everybody started coming in. Then my ears got to popping. And I’m like, why am I ears popping? I’m not on a plane. The lights went out and we did a little rock, rock, boom. And everything just came down on us. And I was trapped. The water fountain was in between my legs, and they had me pinned down. And then coworkers were pinned up against me and there were people at my feet too. And I found out later that when I was trying to get, y’all get this up, get this up, and my coworker said, I can’t, because there’s an air conditioner behind the water fountain. You know how heavy an air conditioner is for a factory. We were trying to stay calm. We had our bouts with panic, but then from there people started to – and I keep saying this because I want people to understand. There were people from jail, graves county jail that worked there. They allowed them to work there.”
