An older gentlemen told me this typhoon story. He was on one of the islands and there was no protection. As many as possible crawled into one of the tanks. He ended up lying on the engine for the duration and the tank moved several times. They didn’t think they would survive and he still chuckled about how many men they got into that tank.
