The Army said the platoon lead- er lost his life trying to reorganize his men and get them to safety when the flash flood roared down the stream. It called the tragedy an “act of God” and said the tricky terrain in Korea made sudden river floods possible at any time. A truck bearing eight men and some ammunition was caught in the flood as it started across at a shallow point. A sudden rise bowled over the truck and swept it and its passengers downstream, The Army said the missing 26 men included one officer and 25 enlisted men.
