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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

I was at clark in Jan and Feb 89. Miss the Philippines and was very sad when Pinatubo blew.

I saw that mountain every time I flew into Clark on my way to Subic Bay in the mid 70s.

Mount Pinatubo grabe ang usok, thanks sharing for video fast memories

Spent five great years in two tours at Clark. Left when the volcano hit. A great place to work and live...in a great country with even better people.

Thank you miss dimple for thia wonderful video..please take care.

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.

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

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.

Thanks for sharing this video!

Hala grabe ang usok nice sharing video 👍big like

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.

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.

Watching again here...

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.

Nice video mam,,,

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 🙏

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.

Oh my gush grabi ang usok ang kapal. Thanks for sharing sis.

Nice video

Wow Dimples a part of history thank you proud to be American as you are proud to be Pilepino proud of our leaders

Nice video sis Nakknood at nlike kna dn

wow~ good video~^^

Ron Jeremy could put Pinatubo to shame... Light weight eruption

Nice to lookback fullview here

Wow nice VOLCANO great memories

Brings back memories!

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.

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.

Cory Aquino, Fidel V. Ramos😂 flashback. Grabe ang kapal ng Ash.. tapos to ah! Like 22 ako sissy..

like numbered 21, new friend

Almost 30 years after you can still see some volcanic ashes around clark and subic and the province of pampanga, tarlac and zambales.

ohh. those were the days! elementary pa lang ako ng time na to! i remember may narinig nga akong balita na ganito!

wonderful info and sad experience for many

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

I was there in Baretto I was working on my papers to come to US that was so sad

play here again dear

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

Terimakasih sudah berbagi 🙏🤝🇮🇩👍💯❤

NBA games shown live here, thats what i remember

Grabe nag explore kami jan overnight sa Abandoned Clark hospital ang daming Multo...

I was in Bangkok and we go ash there also.

i was working at Cindy's reataurant, maingate clark..when this happened..big explosion like mushroom cloud...

nakkatakot tal;ga ingat lng sis dito lng ako

I wasn't even alive at that year but what a great history

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

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.

We were there from 1968-1973, and there was no activity at all. But we always wondered...what if? And now we know.

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!!

I remember this vividly. there was so much Ash that covered the whole city and everybody had masks

Ganda Ng Clark nong araw ma'am ano?

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.

I was at Clark in 91 and now I live in Porac. Now Pinatubo is awake again. This mountain hates me. 🤷‍♂️

The order Reeeeeeeee was given when the base general looked at the mountain as it exploded

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

Andyan kmi na time sa subic Zambales pagputok ng mt.Pinatubo sis

Ito yong marami ding taong na pinsala noong sumabog ang mount pinatobo

Big news talaga yan nuon all over the world pa nga

nagflashback nga sa akin ung naexperienced namin jan sa Pinatubo nung pumutok ung din ung Taal sis. Nakakalungkot

hello host

time ng bata pa ako nag ashpool talaga pasok sa buong bhay nmin di kmi nalabas ng kulambo

I was there in 1970. I remember we had big earthquakes, once a week. Probably due to magma moving under the mountain. Scary stuff.

Dito napo ako sa maganda yong mansion

That was good memories everyone helping together.. But that was so sad and changed everything after the mount pinatubo eruption

Grabe

Final sign off during mt. Pinatubo on June 1991

and NOW 2021 mount Pinatubo is having Movement according to PHIVOLCS. 😷🌏🙏

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.
