Description:
These frames document the guerrillas' capture of a bus, probably belonging to a local plantation or military post. Most of the frames show the guerrillas riding in the bus (rows 4-7). Top frames suggest that the bus and a truck were acquired after a mine or other explosive the guerrillas planted alongside the road exploded, damaging the truck and prompting any passengers inside to abandon the vehicle. The bus may have come along afterward, affecting the same result: unable to proceed, driver and passengers fled. Frames 27 and 28 of the third row appear to document the guerrillas' arrival and discovery of the two abandoned vehicles in the middle of the road. These events may have to do with the planting of explosives connected to a booby trap cable alongside the road depicted in Print 54. One of the passengers, an unidentified foreign journalist, possibly working for CBS, appears shirtless in Frame 39, riding with the guerrillas in the bus. The same man also appears interviewing Fidel and carrying a small movie camera in the bottom left-hand frame of Print 58. See also Prints 54 and 58.
