(on arriving at the Airport which was under the control of the political prisoners)
When they call me to go and make the report, they track me down in Trelew.
They announced through a megaphone that we were going to enter the prison, that two reporters were going to come in.

As soon as we entered the place, what we saw first was a political prisoner receiving us at the door, carrying a large gun, with a five-pointed red star beret.

When we were arriving at the airport we saw that the airplane was about to take off;
We have to calm down the passengers,
Quieto grabs the P.A. and says “Don´t worry,this is a simulation: keep seated”
“We´re training, there´s a prison full of famous terrorists”
and people settle down.

When we arrived, Bonet says: “flash your lights”, the aircraft was about to take off;
if we hadn´t stopped on the road, they would have been there on time.
While we arrived the plane was running, it was late, they had waited a lot,
so they took off.

Bonet and Mariano get in touch: they agree that the first group must leave; they shouldn´t risk making the plane land again.
They take over the airport, the control tower.
