KOREAN
DIARY
SATURDAY
SEPTEMBER 30 1950
Last
week during the , Han River crossing to the south of Seoul
an
amphibious
vehicle with 31 Marines aboard became trapped in
the
vehicle which had slipped into a burning building after it's
safe
crossing
the river under enemy fire. The 31 men were in danger of
being
roasted alive as the paint inside began to peel, or , be killed
if
the
ammunition and fuel exploded . However, the driver was able
to
open
the escape hatch so all were able to escape, and bring with them
the
ammunition, fuel, and their equipment.
Lt.
Arthur House said for a second or two,he thought all were going to
be cooked like sausages.
