Explosion of Fear
Malvinas: Historias de coraje
At Goose Meadow, the Amphibious Engineer Company was busy assembling so-called cluster bombs or belugas, those that, when opened, release several small bombs.
"Be more careful!" the second-in-command challenged Chief Warrant Officer Marcos Edmundo Quiroga.
"Sir, I'm 41 years old. I've lived long enough, and I don't even have a family to worry about."
A few days later, the group was detonating a bomb at the airport when a red alert sounded: a British air attack was coming. And Chief Warrant Officer Quiroga ran at full speed to the shelters.
"But how?!" "The superior officer teased him. "Haven't you lived long enough?"
"This is different," the non-commissioned officer said with a smile on his face.
There were only three men, and they had to neutralize 900 devices in two days.
