| Marine burying C4 explosives. The
idea was to blow a large enough hole to provide a bathing tub. With
the drought in the Da Nang area we all needed a good bath. The idea
was good. The execution wasn't. |
You can't see them, but the Marines
that set the explosives were very close. I had suggested that they
move much farther back to avoid any injury. They replied that it
wasn't necessary. I did. Turned out I was right. How they avoided
the falling debris was a miracle. |
The end result was no bathing hole
and no water. There wasn't much water from the mountain creek to
begin with and with the explosion they blew what water there was
into the bay. The next day it wasn't much better. What water there
was was completly polluted. Hoa
