Master 1480 - Tape 1 Great LS wood cabin in semi-arid area exploding, debris scattering every which way, much of it floating gently back to ground; cabin is reduced to mere structural skeleton. (7-4) Panning LS explosion on hillside-- looks like a napalm bomb strike, the flash white-hot and spreading like a incendiary jelly bomb. (4-4) LS two fires burning at settlement on mountain side. (4-1) TLS facade and doorway of cabin in tropical locale, palm trees near front stoop; TLS reverse angle, small explosion near front steps followed by large violent explosion from inside cabin, the door being blown into smithereens, debris shuttling forward several feet, the shot lingering on smoke sifting all about scene. (7-?) Quick aerial shot of large underwater explosion, more than likely caused by depth charges. (6-9) LS fires burning at settlement camp in mountainous region. (4-3 but repeated theme of 4-1) LS two depth charges (fired from sailing naval vessel, neither of which are seen here) falling into ocean, then exploding grandly, reactionary water breaking surface violently & being jettisoned high into the air. (6-1)
