[00:10.16]A Do Chuc is a forty-eight-year-old
[00:13.67]Vietnamese peasant whose two daughters
[00:16.09]and an aunt were killed by Gls
[00:18.69]in My Lai that day.
[00:20.75]He and his family were eating breakfast
[00:22.97]when the Gls entered the village
[00:25.05]and ordered them from their homes.
[00:27.01]Together with other villagers
[00:28.73]they were marched a few hundred metres
[00:30.61]into the plaza,where they were told to squat¹.
[00:34.01]"Still we had no reason to be afraid,"
[00:35.83]Chuc recalled.
[00:37.22]"Everyone was calm. We'd seen it all before."
[00:39.64]He watched as the Gls set up a machine gun.
[00:43.03]The calm ended.
[00:45.19]The people began crying and begging.
[00:48.02]One monk² showed his identification³ papers
[00:50.09]to a soldier,
[00:51.49]but the American simply said,"Sorry."
[00:54.07]Then the shooting started.
[00:56.69]Chuc was wounded in the leg,
[00:58.44]but the was covered by dead bodies
[01:00.65]and thus spared.
[01:02.42]After waiting an hour, he fled the village.
