Another Hero Bites The Dust In A Mysterious Plane Crash.

Dr. Howard Don Chumley had a clinic 12 blocks away from the Murrah building and was one of the first doctors on the scene of the Oklahoma City Bombing. He shared a safety deposit box and information with Sgt.Terrance E. Yeakey, who was also a first responder to the Oklahoma City Bombing. He had his step son, Sean Jones, with him. When Sean and Howard first arrived, they were sent to the parking garage. Victims were trapped there. When they got there, they were approached by a man repeatedly yelling about a bomb, so they all ran away.

Sean said that Howard was the only doctor to actually go in the building. Sean and Howard saved nine infants from the day care center. 

Howard said that two FBI agents came up to him and asked to be bandaged, even though they had no wounds. Howard told the agents he had real injuries to treat and he didn't want to be a part of whatever they were concocting. His claim was corroborated by another witness. The two agents tried with another doctor, but Howard stepped in and said he would report them if they didn't leave.

Howard, like Terrance, didn't believe the official story of what happened that was being put out about the bombing. Rumor has it that he was about to go public with the evidence he had found inside the Murrah building.

Four months after the Oklahoma City Bombing, Howard was 47 years old when he was killed in a plane crash, in his personal plane, on a routine trip from Texas back to Oklahoma.  He was flying his Cessna 210 when the plane went from 7,000 feet to a full nose dive, seemingly out of nowhere. An investigation was conducted and there was nothing wrong found with his body or the plane that could have caused the crash. 

The safe deposit box, remember, was found empty. The information that Howard had allegedly compiled was never made public.
