50 years a ago a girl name Janie Hensley wittness her parents being killed at the Indiana State Fair Ice Rink explosion on her 13th birthday. This is the story of how she survived those years since then and how she is still struggling. I think she is a brave person.

Interesting story. I never heard that tragic story. I can't imagine what is like to lose parents at such an early age. My heart goes out to anyone who lost a love one at a early age.

Wow that's terrible to hear that. My heart goes out to her and i hope she's doing alright. No kid should have to lose their parents at a early age.

I agree she hasn't been to an ice show since the tragedy. She lost the stability of her home and went from home to home until she reached adulthood because of the tragedy.
