[00:00:00]We had a little outdoor theater in the sand in Cameron Bay and they had a theater screen and a projector and we were watching a movie. And all of a sudden [music] we heard boom boom and we looked over behind us and where the runway was you could see flashes of fire and we were getting artillery from the Viet Cong [music] across the bay and so we all jumped up ran back to our quarters. I ran to command post cuz I figured that's probably where I was needed. Kintota called us up says we've got a Pan [music] American 707's got a load of guys going R&R. Should we let them take off cuz they were trying to hit the runway. I said get them out of here so they took off. They did hit a bladder of fuel that's all the damage that they caused.
