ANSWERS ON PAGE 15
Former CBC cameraman
Ernie Einarsson worked in
what he refers to as three war
zones in the 1970s: Viet Nam,
Cyprus, and Wounded Knee,
USA. He was on the last flight
out of Viet Nam when Saigon
fell, and narrowly escaped
death on a mined road in Cy-
prus — a fate that met the
BBC crew who took the road
despite being warned.
However, one of the most
nerve-wracking experiences
was in North America.
Wounded Knee was “scar-
ier than Viet Nam,” says Er-
nie, “because in Viet Nam,
and in Cyprus, you would be
stopped by somebody with a
gun, and you would listen to
them — because they had the
gun — but you could always
see that their finger was out-
side of the trigger, which is
the only safe way to carry a
gun. But the native people in
Wounded Knee held the gun
with their fingers inside the
trigger.
“The last part of our trip
into the Indian encampment
there, we had a Native guy sit-
ting on the hood of the car with
his sawed-off rifle pointed at
the driver, and it was a rather
bumpy road. If he had started
to slip or lose his balance, he
would have tightened up and
the gun would have gone off.
And that was rather scary —
because I was that driver.
“It was also scary getting
in, because the first ring of the
long end was the [US] army,
and they just had Wounded
Knee completely surrounded.
Nothing got in or out.
“When you got past them,
you got involved with the
FBI.
“When you got past them,
then you got involved with
the Indian soldiers. And then
once you got in, they made
a point of emptying your gas
tank, because number one,
you couldn’t drive out; num-
ber two, they would then get
gas. And they gave you a gal-
lon of gas to go out with. And
that got you as far as the FBI
lines, where you could get
more gasoline.”
Ernie survived his expe-
riences in these tense situa-
tions, but after returning from
Viet Nam, he and his wife
Donna decided that it was too
difficult for him to regularly
go into potentially fatal situ-
ations. He continued to work
for the CBC, concentrating on
the western provinces and the
North.
Ernie and Donna Einars-
son live in Victoria, BC.
