In the past 34 years I have decided that everyone has a different timeline for their own final days there. His description of the C-5 crash was also interesting - I saw the plane take off as I got into a taxi in Gia Dinh to go to MACV (DAO) and by the time I got to MACV, the news had already spread throughout the building. I think we lost more than 4 women, but that might be his count. I loved the story of the Hungarian general - think I knew him too. Interesting summary of his timeline of the fall.
