U.S. Embassy In Saigon Victim Of Vietcong Bomb
A car bomb planted by the Vietcong explodes in front of the United States Embassy in Saigon killing two Americans and eleven South Vietnamese. 183 were injured, many seriously. A 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 Lyndon B. Johnson said the bombing would serve to reinforce the Administration’s determination to give more help to South Vietnam Government.
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 and 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.
1965 British Grand National Won By American Rider And Horse
A horse and rider from the Colonies give British thoroughbreds their comeuppance as the horse “Jay Trump”, a 20 to 1 long shot, wins the Grand National Classic steeplechase. American-bred, the horse is ridden by American rider Tommy Smith. The Yankee-Doodle pair make this the first All-American win in the annals of the Grand National.
