GeGere, Michael A.Gunner, 53rd When "Easy Money" was shot down
on Hwy 13, Mike watched a
VC Grenade enter the cabin
through the large hole created
by the aft rotor while landing.
The grenade landed by the 40mm ammo
box. Quickly grabbing it, Mike
threw it back out the same hole..
it explodes about 30 ft. outside.
This created a pattern of shrapnel
holes, which mesmerized Mike
momentarily.
Webmaster's Note:
Had that grenade went off on
board, it would have almost
certainly killed the crewmembers,
plus, started cooking off
the 40mm rounds in the ammo box,
which would have almost
certainly destroyed the aircraft. |
