| Bien Hoa Air Base Vietnam May 16 1965 Conflagration / Fire |
 |
As far as I know this is the first time this
video has been made readily available to the
GP when I posted this on Youtube. ;)
This was one of the largest base fires in the
US History. It would have been much larger if
emergency crews didn't respond so fast.
As far as I know this is the first time this
video has been made readily available to the
GP when I posted this on Youtube. ;)Fire at
Bien Hoa Air Base Vietnam May 16, 1965,
explosions and cleanup (FOD patrol).
This was mishap was investigated and
determined to be accidental
"Large numbers of USAF strike aircraft were
sent to bases where pavement for aircraft
parking was at a premium. Aircraft were
parked wing tip to wing tip, vulnerable to an
accidental explosion or enemy attack. A need
for aircraft revetments was dramatically
brought home on 16 May 1965 when the
explosion of a bomb under the wing of a
loaded B-57 aircraft set off a chain reaction
of explosions on the parking apron at Bien
Hoa Air Base, South Vietnam. Forty aircraft
were destroyed, 26 Americans killed, and over
60 wounded."

"On May 16, 1965, while waiting to takeoff on
a mission, a B-57B exploded on the ground at
Bien Hoa, setting off a whole chain of
secondary explosions. The resulting
conflagration destroyed ten B-57s, eleven
VNAF A-1H Skyraiders, and a US Navy F-8
Crusader. The surviving B-57s were
transferred to Tan Son Nhut and continued to
fly sorties on a reduced scale until the
losses could be made good. Some B-57Bs had to
be transferred to Vietnam from the Air
National Guard, and 12 B-57Es had to be
withdrawn from target-towing duties and
reconfigured as bombers to make good these
losses."
