Heat Endangers Hijacked Columbia Eagle Explosion Fears rise
U S Coast Guard officers warn extreme Cambodian heat could trigger munitions aboard the hijacked ship Columbia Eagle parked off Sihanoukville. The vessel carries 500 and 750 pound bombs for U S planes and crew fear an inadvertent blast in the tropical holds. The ship remains under threat as Cambodian leaders delay release and two young hijackers claim they acted to stop napalm drops in Vietnam.
