Later that summer of 1967 we were split up again and Jim and I were put in another building, still together in a cell. In the last part of July and the first part of August we went through another torture session. then our captors moved us to the workers' quarters right next to the power plant. They did this in the hope that is would persuade the U. S. not to bomb it. It was bombed, however. This is the time when I thought I might be injured. When the bombs fell the window shutters were closed, the doors were barred and the overpressure in the room was so great that the window and the door were blown off the building. A sagging string that ran from one end of the room to the other snapped when the walls buckled.
