So sad. I was one of those of the 1500 who remained behind and evacuated the morning of the eruption. We returned to Clark a few days later only to find almost total destruction and wet sand/ash covering everything. Greatest assignment of my career and I miss it so much. It took me weeks to locate my Filipina girlfriend. We were married three months later and have been married for 33 years.
Brings back sad memories. I was born in pampanga, and my father made me go back to the US to finish college. I had one year left, and enlisted with the plan to be assigned back to clark. During basic training, Pinatubo erupted. I didnt get back to Angeles until 18 months ago, at 50 years old. Everything is so different here now. Thank you for posting.
wow....just WOW! I worked at FEN, these reporters were my friends. I departed Clark the day before the eruption on normal PCS. Truly wish I was there for it to help my team. Thanks for the great video!
As a US Army Specialist I got to see Clark Air Force Base before the eruption for a few weeks in 1989 while on a 45 day leave of "Adventure". I was flying Military Space - A trying to get to a US Air Force Base in Thailand but missed one of the two monthly military flights out of Clark because the C-5 Galaxy that I had hopped out of Hickam AFB Hawaii had tail fins problems that grounded the plane for a few days. With no flights out I spent the last few weeks of my leave at Clark. So glad I got to see it was still operational. Gone But Not Forgotten.
Loved this because it is essentially Armed Forces News services and I love how well the production is done. I was in the USAF and appreciated all the news services that kept us up to date while away from home. It was our only version of the internet. That or ordering late newspapers. Thank you.
Dimple, I want to thank you for putting this video up. I had never seen much of these Far East News videos, as we were among the thousands of Clark families being evacuated during this time. It is something that I will never forget.
I was a kid living in Manila when Pinatubo erupted. It was so dark and raining at around 2 or 3 pm. The next day, ashes were all over. I've been hearing news from the adults that a volcano was erupting but i never realized how catastrophic it was until i was older.

I was station at Clark Air Base one (1) before Mount Pinatubo Explosion which happen exactly 30 years ago, this month June 1991. GOD bless Philippines and GOD bless America.
Slamat s pagbahagi ng vids n to kaibigan,bata plang kami non kaya di namin alam kung paano ang mga pangyayari.bsta alam lang nmin n pumotok na.Bagu po dito kaibigan Stay safe
We've had a house in Pangasinan for decades, right across the border from Tarlac Prov., and we lucked out when Pinatubo went off. The Tradewinds blew the ash westward just enough where we didn't get hardly any ashfall at all -- while just a few miles SW of us the place was buried in ash; looked like a moonscape, especially at night.
There's a BBC Horizons / NOVA special with much of this footage in it, "In the Path of a Killer Volcano", that focuses on the volcanologists who saved so many by absolutely nailing the prediction. If they'd failed, no one would have believed them when it mattered, but they got everything right and lives were saved, as seen here.
That is what I was watching before I saw this one. Loved this because it is essentially Armed Forces News services. I believe that Rusty went on to interview Obama as part of Pentagon News or something.
@@jkocol My favorite part of the Nova program is when the US Air Force General in charge of Clark Air Force Base in Luzon says, "I made the decision to evacuate Clark when [a seismologist named Andy] ran past me and said, 'General, you'd better put jam in your pockets, because we're all about to be toast." The General said that no matter the scientists' instruments and know-how, when that young scientist said that, running away, from him, he figured he's better follow him. 300,000 lives were saved.
Yes it was a traumatic experience that I will never forget. I have stories about the impacted and devastation due to explosion of Mt Pinatubo before I was shipped to my parents in law while my husband stayed in the Philippines to work back and forth to Clark and Subic.
Far East Network Philippines Class Public Base Pinatubo Volcanic Eruption You covered the incident ~~ I found out that I didn't know. I hope this doesn't happen. I pray for a quick recovery 🙏
Ako high school pa lang nun naka tira kami sa Angeles city. Grabe yung June 15 kasabay ng bagyo akala namin katapusan ng mundo. Lindol, kidlat na pula at sulfuric ash fall ng na experience namin. Alang kwenta kasi mayor nun Alang evasive measures na ginawa. Sinabi pang over reacting pa daw mga Americans sa pag evacuate.
I was there on Clark when the first eruption happened. A stake bed truck picked me up and we bugged out to Mt Arayat to an agricultural college. From there we later made our way to Subic.
That is where Rusty Barfield and the other FEN news crew went after they shot their final footage. All others that evacuated early and were at Subic Naval Base were the ones that got hit the worst when the storms rolled in.
Hello Dimples I lived there in Angeles City during the eruption of Mt Pinatubo and also remember how bad things were and now I live in Cavite not too far from Taal vocano I hope it doesn't ever get like Mt. Pinatubo
I hope not, that would be bad. I know what it's like. It was horrible. Take care and enjoy the simple life in Philippines. Cavite is a beautiful place.
Brings back memories, both sad but respect of those caught up in the afternoon darkness and tremor that persisted on that day 96 shock waves hit. I was a 36 yrs old Australian Army Sgt on vacation, shit hit the fan and I was drinking beers with mates and US guys at Moon-Doggies, as the Moon-doggies sign kept swinging each time a tremor struck, and our beers were rejuvenated. Looking overs at Clarke as the last convoys were making a run for it ( ZAMBALES- wrong place to go that day). The chores of shouts went out to the single barmaid left, one more beer. By this time we all had ash grey hair. So it was decided that we move to a safe haven that would accommodate us for both more beer and food, down to Garfield ( old Garfield) we marched. Auntie Tess and the staff were over joyed to see us enter, and it comforted them a lot, that boys came back to the clubroom. For the next week I stayed to assist both my US brothers and Filipinos, shoveling Lahar off roofs be for they collapsed and do what I could. At the time I was on vacation with my Filipino fiancé. Was the best holiday we ever had, but it is another story for an old digger to tell people, and each year I go back, I meet Filipinos from back then, even the peanut boy selling those great garlic nuts.
At that time we sold furnitures in Timog park. The factory was destroyed, roof fell and many machines and finished China cabinets were destroyed. The most horrifying event that ever happened in our lives. It's good we survived the ordeal.
I went to Jungle survival school, there at Clark, in 1971. I remember taking a photo of that volcano from up on the hills behind the base. It didn't look REAL. It looked like something out of a painting or a science fiction movie. BEAUTIFUL. Too bad it blew up and spoiled the USAF base at Clark and its own natural beauty.
I have remember this was really an outcry for us as a kid we were at school when the Pinatubo erupted and really all of us were so scared and crying loudly when we got home finally it is more saddened coz our small and only dying televising fell and broke so we don't have anymore television
12:00 po ng tanghali noon 3x na dumilim bago tuloy-tuloy na ang dilim hanggang umaga na. Kami ang last (local) airforce personnel na nakalabas ng CAB ng araw na iyon. May instruction sa team ko na isecure at imonitor yung evacuation ng mga last group ng scty personnel (mga Phil Air Force from CABCOM) that time. Madilim na, umuulan na ng buhangin, may communication failure na, wala ng contact sa mga tactical radio namin. Nagdecide yung TL namin na aalis na rin kami after 2 hrs 😆. Kami na lang pala ang tao sa loob ng clark air base. Ni buntot ng convoy d na namin inabot sa NLEX😅.huminto na lang kami nagtambay sa bulacan sa hindi na abot ng sandfall.

The 1991 Eruption of Mount Pinatubo cause a global temperature drop down in 1992, the summer of 1992 was not really normal. Temperatures ranges about 0.5 to 1.5°C in the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere experienced a cooling event in the last quarter of 1991
Amazing!! I'm here in Clark working on a documentary about the former base. I'd love to feature clips of this video in my upcoming film. Do you know if there would be any copyright concerns? Perhaps it's in the public domain now? I'm not sure who could grant permission for me to use this footage, but please let me know if you have further information or contacts so I can get the formal "OK." Thanks so much!!
Nate any documentary should include the tremendous amount of looting, scavenging and partial destruction of both Clark and Subic. this went on for a long while after they both were abandoned.
I was on USS ROANOKE AOR-7 and we were pulled out of the gulf along with USS ABARHAM LINCOLN AND A CRUISER To pick up dependents at subic for transfer to cebu.
Wow. Imagine how scattered they (american forces) were in our archipelago back then. From clark and subic, to camp o'donnell, san miguel naval detachment, wallace air station, mactan air field. That security blanket they provide without a cost to the ph govt would've guaranteed the peace and stability in our vast shorelines and airspaces up to now. No thanks to those 12 buffoons who voted for the closure of their bases that we're now screwed big time, we were left on our own because of some people's senseless pride
I still have nightmares about it. I don’t know know why because by the time the mountain exploded, I was in subic. I just remember darkness and raining rock.
Look at video at 6:35 to 7:38 again,the Philippine President (Aquino) and the Philippine secretary (Ramas) avoid the U.S reporter's question making it clear they (were not) going to brag on or give credit to the U.S MILITARY for any of the evacuation efforts or lives saved by the U.S GOVERNMENT,not long after and for reasons (the real truth) we may never know,Clark airforce base and Subic naval base were closed.
I WAS THERE!! I WAS ON THE USNS SPICA IN SUBIC BAY AT THE NAVAL SUPPLY PIER. THE DAY TURNED INTO THE DARKEST NIGHT YOU HAVE EVER SEEN. JUST AS THE WORST HAPPENED, I PICKED UP MY WIFE AT THE GATE. YOU COULD STILL SEE THEN BUT BEFORE WE GOT TO THE SHIP THE TRUCKS WIPERS BROKE BECAUSE THERE WAS MUD COMING OUT OF THE SKY. WE SPENT THE NIGHT IN MY STATE ROOM AND I ATTENDED TO TAKING CARE OF THE ENGINE ROOM. TO MUCH HAPPENED THAT NIGHT, BUT IN THE MORNING IT WAS CLEAR. THE MUD WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT LOOKED LIKE A GREY SNOW STORM HAD HIT. I STARTED TO KEEP MY WIFE ON BOARD LIKE THE CAPTAIN DID BUT SHE WAS ABLE TO GO HOME OK. THREE DAYS LATER WE LOADED OVER 300 EVACUEES ON BOARD AND ABOUT 75 ANIMALS IN KENNELS AND SAILED TO CEBU. AFTER WE CLEARED SUBIC AND HAD GAINED SOME SEA ROOM WE STOPPED THE MAIN ENGINE IN ORDER TO CLEAN SOME SEA STRAINERS OF THE VOLCANID DEBRIS WHICH COULD NOT PASS THROUGH THE STRAINERS. WE HAD ELECTRIC POWER ALL THROUGH THE ORDEAL. WE OFF LOADED THE PASSENGERS AND CATS AND DOGS INTO LANDING CRAFT WHICH TOOK THEM TO MAC TAN AIR BASE NEAR CEBU. WE SAILED TO SINGAPORE, TOOK ON FUEL AND FOOD, THEN RETURNED TO SUBIC WHERE THE BASE WAS A PURE WRECK. WHAT A BIG DEAL THIS THING WAS. PEOPLE HAVE REMARKED IT WAS OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS. I AGREE !!!!
It was a huge disaster. I was one of those evacues. Fortunately your wife made it back home. I tried to go back to my parents house but it was too dangerous. I got loaded in one of those naval ships. That was unforgettable experienced, it took me 5 days to arrived in Connecticut.
@@DimplesLife DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT SHIP YOU RODE? AFTER THE VOLCANO, THE BASE STAYED OPERATIONAL FOR QUITE A FEW MONTHS. FINALLY WE CLOSED BOTH CLARK AND SUBIC. SUBIC WAS OUR HOME PORT AND WE WERE THE SECOND TO LAST SHIP TO LEAVE. I RETURNED ABOUT 7 YEARS LATER. WHAT A CHANGE!!!
So sad. I was one of those of the 1500 who remained behind and evacuated the morning of the eruption. We returned to Clark a few days later only to find almost total destruction and wet sand/ash covering everything. Greatest assignment of my career and I miss it so much.

Mount Pinatubo grabe ang usok, thanks sharing for video fast memories
I saw that mountain every time I flew into Clark on my way to Subic Bay in the mid 70s.
Yesss po mt pinatubo eruption wala ako nyan sa pinas ng mangyari nice flashback po keep it up ilove phils my lovely country bangon pilipinas lol

Almost 30 years after you can still see some volcanic ashes around clark and subic and the province of pampanga, tarlac and zambales.
if you play the clark golf course there. your playing on a layer of ash mixed with some topsoil.
Thank you volcano is a great memories nice video

yes
I can't imagine kung ano ang kalagayan at hirap na naranasan ng mga naapektuhan ng eruption na yan.

The 1991 Eruption of Mount Pinatubo cause a global temperature drop down in 1992, the summer of 1992 was not really normal.
Temperatures ranges about 0.5 to 1.5°C in the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere experienced a cooling event in the last quarter of 1991
It’s a shame that Clark and Subic AFB are closed now. We need them back esp now that China is a threat to the Philippines National Security.
nope we dont need US forces here in the PH
Para que?
don't worry about it..they are still here to protect the pearl of the orient island..and the seven sea of the world..
That was the whole point of having the bases to begin with 🇵🇭 was too greedy in their quest for funds in renewal agreement.
Subic was a Naval Air Station, not an AFB.

nakkatakot tal;ga ingat lng sis dito lng ako
nagflashback nga sa akin ung naexperienced namin jan sa Pinatubo nung pumutok ung din ung Taal sis. Nakakalungkot
Grabe talaga ang nangyari noong pumutok ang mt pinatubo. Nakikita talaga iyong apoy na bumabagsak kasama na ang buhangin at kidlat tapos uulan.
Kaya nung pumutok ang taal din naalala ko ang mt pinatubo.
tahnk you for sharing, Nag iwan n aqo ng mga kulay sa tahanan mo lods, sna ay mapuntahan muo aqo sa tahanan qo.
I was at Clark in 91 and now I live in Porac. Now Pinatubo is awake again. This mountain hates me. 🤷♂️
Ito yong marami ding taong na pinsala noong sumabog ang mount pinatobo

I still have nightmares about it. I don’t know know why because by the time the mountain exploded, I was in subic. I just remember darkness and raining rock.
The order Reeeeeeeee was given when the base general looked at the mountain as it exploded
I was there in 1970. I remember we had big earthquakes, once a week. Probably due to magma moving under the mountain. Scary stuff.
That was good memories everyone helping together.. But that was so sad and changed everything after the mount pinatubo eruption

AFTER WE CLEARED SUBIC AND HAD GAINED SOME SEA ROOM WE STOPPED THE MAIN ENGINE IN ORDER TO CLEAN SOME SEA STRAINERS OF THE VOLCANID DEBRIS WHICH COULD NOT PASS THROUGH THE STRAINERS. WE HAD ELECTRIC POWER ALL THROUGH THE ORDEAL. WE OFF LOADED THE PASSENGERS AND CATS AND DOGS INTO LANDING CRAFT WHICH TOOK THEM TO MAC TAN AIR BASE NEAR CEBU. WE SAILED TO SINGAPORE, TOOK ON FUEL AND FOOD, THEN RETURNED TO SUBIC WHERE THE BASE WAS A PURE WRECK. WHAT A BIG DEAL THIS THING WAS. PEOPLE HAVE REMARKED IT WAS OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS. I AGREE !!!!
It was a huge disaster. I was one of those evacues. Fortunately your wife made it back home. I tried to go back to my parents house but it was too dangerous. I got loaded in one of those naval ships. That was unforgettable experienced, it took me 5 days to arrived in Connecticut.
@@DimplesLife DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT SHIP YOU RODE? AFTER THE VOLCANO, THE BASE STAYED OPERATIONAL FOR QUITE A FEW MONTHS. FINALLY WE CLOSED BOTH CLARK AND SUBIC. SUBIC WAS OUR HOME PORT AND WE WERE THE SECOND TO LAST SHIP TO LEAVE. I RETURNED ABOUT 7 YEARS LATER. WHAT A CHANGE!!!
