Vietnam
Vietcong Terrorists Bomb U.S. Embassy In Saigon
Vietcong terrorism hits at the US Embassy in Saigon as a bomb explodes in front of the building after it was planted in a parked car. Two Americans and eleven South Vietnamese were killed. 183 injured, many seriously.

The cameraman records the scene as rescue workers ignore danger to probe the wreckage for the wounded. Most of the Vietnamese dead were passersby or workers on the first floor of the Embassy.

Reaction to the outrage was one of dismay and shock in Washington. President Johnson said the bombing would serve to reinforce the Administration’s determination to give more help to South Vietnam.

Chile
Chile Hit By Devastating Earthquake
The worst earthquake since the Alaskan disaster shakes Central Chile for 90 seconds. In those fleeting moments 300 persons lost their lives. 20,000 were made homeless. Hardest hit was the mining town of El Cobre, north of Santiago. There, a mud dam containing millions of tons of mineral waste gave way, sweeping away the village.
