As the crews escaped, they realized Lockhart and King never made it out with them.
For 25 years now, loved ones have been making sure they're never forgotten. Moments of silence and prayer are being held to remember King and Lockhart. King's wife said she's still overwhelmed with how much this community has rallied together for those two heroes.
