Army out of Vieques Army out of Vieques Background and Thesis Rafael Torres, a former security guard at the U.S. Navy base in Vieques, said he still hears noises in his head. A sound like the fighter jet that in 1995 hurled two cement-filled projectiles a few feet from where he was standing (ROSS A10). "The other day I was sleeping in my armchair, and I dove on the floor when I heard airplanes buzzing in my ears," said Torres (qtd in ROSS A10), 49, who has since retired with a disability pension because of psychological trauma from the accident. He said one bomb struck the three-story observation post he was guarding, crashing through the top two floors. The second landed feet away from where he stood, spewing chunks of cement. Torres didn't realize this at the time, but this narrow miss foreshadowed a much more serious accident (ROSS A10). Months later on April 19,1999, one of Torres's co-workers, David Sanes Rodriguez was pulling duty at the same post when a Navy F-18 dumped two 5,000-pound bombs about 1.9 miles off course. Unlike the inert practice bombs Torres encountered, these projectiles packed lives explosives. Sanes was killed, and four other base employees were injured.
