Graphic courtesy of: David R. White Last bomb out of a B-52. A leaflet bomb. Carried about 10,000 Chieu Hoi leaflets. It had a string of C-4 explosive between its two halves. It detonated at a specific altitude and could carry the leaflets 10-20 miles in the wind. This one was in our offices. | |
Graphic courtesy of: David R. White Just recently looked up Horne Hall BOQ. I was stationed at HQUSMACV from Apr 1970 to Apr 1971. During that time, I got a job with special services and worked various BOQs showing movies at night. I was working the night that the Horne Hall BOQ, got hit with a sabotage bomb under the front desk. Below are some pictures I took the next morning after the bombing. Here’s the front door. | |
Graphic courtesy of: David R. White Across from the front desk. I was standing there about nine minutes before the bomb went off. All I could learn about it was that when the duty officer pulled the switch on the water pump outside, it went off. My friend Steve and I could not get a military taxi to pick us up so we walked over to the Idaho BOQ and got a ride with one of Steve’s friends back to Dodge City barracks. They never found anything of the Vietnamese clerk behind the front desk. | |
