That is tracy again staying close to her older brother. As the group was leaving, another family was being torn apart. You brings those kids back here you bring them back one second, one second. Dont you take my kids this mother resisted when others in her family wanted to go. In the end, the family would stay, and all would die. Emotions were starting to just become very tense, and i recognized that we were in a powder keg. This is vern gosney dragging his belongings toward the departing truck. He tried to warn the congressman they were all in danger. He told me i had the congressional shield of protection over me and that i had nothing to worry about. I thought he was totally out of his mind. Congressman leo ryan, carrying the briefcase, had planned to stay the night to help get more families out. Then a Church Member came up behind him. And all of a sudden he puts a knife up to his throat and he says, all right, mf, youre going to die. We all jumped on him. We all got the knife away from him. You can see blood spatters on his shirt from the attacker, not ryan. The ride to the small airport at port kituma was slow, bumpy and tense. And you could just sense the fear in everyone. You could just feel it like it was bouncing off each other. When they reached the airport, don harris asked a shaken ryan about the knife attack. Yeah, he said, something about rob and choke and kill or knife i dont know. What he said was he intended to kill me. Within minutes, all three men here, congressman leo ryan, reporter don harris and the nbc cameraman behind the lens, bob brown, seen earlier the same day, would be dead, shot by jim jones gunmen. Just ahead ambush at the airport. I looked out the window, and i said, theyre killing everyone, theyre killing everyone.

Ooh, lala it feels like it just happened yesterday. 30 years later tracy parks came back to this small airport near jonestown. Did you feel like you were home free when you got to the airport . Yeah, pretty much. I thought, yay, im going home. On that day, november 18, 1978, 15 defectors got off the truck at port kituma airport, six in the parks family, seven with the bogue family, plus vern gosney and his friend. Thats vern walking toward us. When i got there, we unloaded, and i had a feeling of foreboding. This man, larry layton, was a faithful follower of jones. He worried congressional aide Jackie Speier. The only thing that was really bothering me was that all of a sudden larry layton had decided that he was a defector and you just have a gut instinct. You have just intuition. Jackie speier, seen here, got people moving toward this plane, a 19seat otter. Thats jerry parks walking with his wife. Tracy parks and her brother dale got on the smaller plane. So did larry layton and vern gosney. The pilot started the plane and we were taxiing and we were coming down the runway to take off, and then the tractor trailer with the assassins cut in front of our plane. This is that tractor and farm wagon. And thats when i heard the shooting and i looked out the window and i said, theyre killing everyone, theyre killing everyone. I turned, and thats when larry shot me once in each side. Larry layton, the false defector. At the same time, these gunmen leaped from that farm wagon as it pulled up near the larger plane. The nbc cameraman taking this footage was shot dead. I really didnt know what was happening at first. I didnt know what the sounds meant. And then when i realized that they were gunshots, i just i ran under the plane. Leo ryan ducked behind a wheel but was killed. The only u. S. Congressman ever assassinated while in office. These are photos never seen publicly until now. Lying behind ryan, the body of nbc reporter don harris. This newspaper photographer also was killed. Jerry parks, 30 years ago. Shot the reporters on the ground and the congressman. They come from the pickup the dump truck from the other side and got off and stuck the guns to their head pointblank and blew their brains out. Shot them up terrible. The newsmen, the congressman and his aide Jackie Speier were clearly the targets. I was shot five times. The first thing i thought was, oh, my god, this is it. Im 28 years old. And my life is over. Inside the larger plane, jerry parks was siting across from his wife patty when bullets came through the windows. I heard my mom holler, my god, look at patty. And i turned around and looked, and the whole top part of her head was gone. The tractor was over there. Her daughter tracy. When they started shooting down here at the big plane, thats when larry layton started in our little plane. He shot the two people in front of us. Then he turned around and pointed the gun at my brothers chest, and the bullet we thought went off. He flew back, and, you know, acted like he had been hit. Then he looked down and realized he hadnt. Dale and i struggled with larry to get the gun away. Larry was hitting me and kicking me at that time, and i had to fight larry and i had to push up through the pilots seat and go out the pilots door and then ran towards the jungle. A few steps into the jungle gosney collapsed. There was blood everywhere, and i thought, im dying, and then i blacked out. Patricia parks body was pulled from the larger plane. Her daughter tracy back then. I didnt see her get shot, but i saw her brains in the plane and i saw her laying out on the ground. My mother was hit. They shot her and my dad wanted to kind of not let me see that. Worried the gunmen might return to the airport, jerry parks told his two daughters and three other youths to seek cover. We got them into the jungle and told them to stay there, dont come out until we come back and holler for you. So where did you go . We just ran straight back through there, yeah. Straight in. Others carried a badly wounded Jackie Speier to the edge of the jungle. Unfortunately, i was placed on an ant hill. But you dont sweat the small stuff when youre dying. Reporters found the only painkiller in town. During the night, they would come and bring a bottle of rum, and thats how i got through the night. Sipping on a bottle of rum. Jerry parks worries were getting worse. Before night came, we went back to the jungle and started hollering for the kids. And no response. They never came. They said they did, but we went so far we couldnt hear their voices. I thought, oh, my god, dont tell me theyre lost. Next die with a degree of dignity. Lay down your life with dignity. Dont lay down with tears and agony. The end of jonestown. Darkness settles over jonestown on its last day of earth. These are the final words in this unsigned suicide note left behind amid the hundreds of bodies. Tim carter saw the reverend jim jones teetering on the edge that day. You could see his jaws getting a little bit tighter, you know, and his arms being folded. After the truck left for the airport, carter turned to his wife. I said, i think were all going to die. Hes going to try to kill everybody. Then an announcement over the loudspeaker. We walked up to the pavilion. It was very quiet. It was very somber. How very much ive loved you. How very much ive tried my best to give you a good life. This from jim jones in the last taperecording he ever made. If we cant live in peace, then lets die in peace. He told his flock that this man, larry layton, planned to bring down congressman ryans plane. Theyre going to shoot that pilot and down comes that plane into the jungle, and we had better not have any of our children left when its over. He said the Guyanese Army would come through the jungle to torture them. When they start parachuting out of the air, theyll shoot some of our innocent babies. And i dont think we should sit here and take any more time for our children to be endangered. This woman, christine miller, tried to argue with jim jones. I looked at all the babies and i think they deserve to live. I agree. But whats more, they deserve peace. Jones mistress maria called tim carter aside. She says, come here, i think i have something for to you do. She says, we have three suitcases of money supposed to be delivered to the soviet embassy in georgetown. As carter prepared to leave, he saw the airport gunmen return. The tractor trailer that had come from the airstrip came up and stopped at the kitchen, and these guys jumped out and said, we got the congressman. Jim jones told his 900 followers. The congressman is dead. Please get us some medication, its simple. Theres no convulsions with it. Its just simple. Just please can we hasten with that medication. You dont know what youve done. At one point, carter saw the mistress maria whisper in jones ear. And he looked at her and said, is there any way to make it taste less bitter . So out loud she goes, no, its not. And he said, is it supposed to be quick . And she said, yeah, its supposed to be quick. Please, for gods sakes, lets get on with it. Weve lived as no other people have lived and loved. Weve had as much of this world as were going to get. Lets just be done with it. Lets just be done with the agony of it. When the children cried, a jones loyalist told parents its just a little bitter tasting, but theyre not crying out of any pain. There are screams of agony. There are screams of terror. You can hear people crying. Keep your emotions down. Keep your emotions down. Children, it will not hurt if youll be quiet. If youll be quiet. 303 children would die in jonestown that day, from toddlers to teens. Wilsons nephew. And her niece. Vern gosneys son mark. A third of all the dead were children, murdered at jim jones command, wracked with convulsions, a painful death. I tell you, i dont care how many screams you hear, i dont care how many anguished cries. Death is a million times preferable to more days of this loss. What i experienced and saw was absolute chaos and insanity. Die with a degree of dignity. Lay down your life with dignity. Dont lay down with tears and agony. Tim carter walked back to the pavilion and saw his 1yearold son malcolm in the arms of his wife gloria. And heres sharon cobb, pediatric Nurse Practitioner with a syringe in malcolms mouth. Gloria is standing there, just tears streaming down her face, agony written all over her face. These syringes found later were filled with cyanide to kill the children. All theyre doing is taking a drink to go to sleep. Thats what death is, sleep. Malcolm was dead. His little lips covered with foam, which is what happens with arsenic and cyanide is it foams at the mouth. I put my arms around gloria as she was holding malcolm and just kept on sobbing, i love you so much, i love you so much. I held gloria until she died. The vat, the vat. Wheres the vat with the green bring it here so the adults can begin. Jones last selfserving words as the tape ends. We didnt commit suicide. We committed an act of revolutionary suicide protesting the conditions of an inhumane world. Jim jones did not drink the cyanide. When almost everyone else was dead, jones was shot in the head. Probably by a trusted aide. Before the end came, these three men, tim carter on the left, his brother on the right, pr man mike prokes in the middle, were allowed to walk away from jonestown with the suitcases holding 500,000 in cash. We dumped the first suitcase in the fields next to the pavilion. They abandoned all three suitcases in the jungle. Authorities later recovered them. When the men paused to rest, carter said he put a gun to his head. I knew that i would never get the sounds and the smells and the sights of jonestown out of my mind ever again. The three men walked on that night to port kituma where they were taken into custody. A day or so later carter and prokes were put into a helicopter and flown back to jonestown to identify bodies. 909 people lay dead. Many facedown. Often the children lying hidden beneath them. As i walked through the pavilion, i identified what bodies i could. I saw injection marks in peoples arms. I saw one in the back of somebodys head. I saw them on somebodys neck. It was really evident to me that people had been just flatout murdered, held down and injected the ones that didnt want to drink the poison. Several bottles of cyanide still sat on a table in the sunlight. This vat with the deadly koolaidtype punch rested on a walkway. A parrot stood watch over the dead. In the suicide hall this sign those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it hung above the body of jim jones. I did notice jones body on the stage with the bullet hole in the side of his head, and i remember thinking, the son of a bitch didnt even die the way everybody else died. Jones body would be among the first to be identified, through fingerprints taken when l. A. Vice cops arrested him for lewd conduct in the mens room of a movie theater, an arrest he fought to hush up. The airport gunmen in the farm wagon would all die in the mass suicide. Among them, Leslie Wilsons husband joe. Larry layton, the lone shooter to survive, would not be paroled from a u. S. Prison until 2002. Tim carter and his companion spent a few days in a Guyana Police cell, then were released. Four others in jonestown lived through the suicide night. Two men were able to sneak away during the slaughter, one of them odell rhodes. He was telling people it wasnt painful and that, you know, people had to die with dignity. This 76yearold woman, asleep in the infirmary, was overlooked. So was one elderly man. Only 33 left alive out of almost a thousand faithful followers in jonestown that day. The rest came home in metal coffins, as ostracized in death as they had been isolated in life. Many of the children could not be identified. Other victims went unclaimed. The unwanted, the unnamed were buried on a hillside, more than 400, in a mass grave here in oakland, california. I dont think society cared because they were nameless they were nameless faces. Leslie wilsons mother, her niece and nephew are here. On a recent summer day she stood and offered an epitaph for the reverend jim jones. I would say jim jones was a psychopathic, hypocritical, egotistical maniac who wanted to go down in history. Unfortunately, he felt the need to take everyone else with him. When we come back the lost children of the jungle. I pretty much thought i was going to die in there. We were hungry. We were thirsty. We had fevers. Try running four. Ning a restaurant is hard, fortunately weve got ink. It gives us 5x the rewards on our internet, phone charges and cable, plus at Office Supply stores. Rewards we put right back into our business.

And before i reached the top, the Board Meeting became a congrats we sold the company party. Wait til my wifes phone hears about this.

Keeping you informed. Cnn the most trusted name in news. The jungle grows right up to the edge of the airstrip at port kituma. So where did you go . Which way did you go . Just ran straight back through there. With her mother dead beside the runway, a congressman and three others killed, 12yearold tracy parks ran for safety in the jungle. We ran too far, and, of course, its so thick that like once you get so far, you cant you get lost in your direction. She was the youngest of five who fled. Her 18yearold sister and a boyfriend, a brother and sister in another family. We just kept running and running and running. They feared the gunmen would be back. You thought they were going to come kill you. Yeah. I just knew they were going to get us. I figured, well, they knew they didnt get everybody, and they knew we were in there. So we went in there, we wasnt about to try to come back here. Even if they could have found their way. It was so dark, so pitch black, that you couldnt see two feet in front of you in there in the jungle at night. The five of them climbed into a half fallen tree to spend the night. We heard shootings that first night, but really it was the gunshots over in jonestown we were hearing. But so i we really didnt think we had anything to go back to or, you know, any parents or anything. So we thought they finished off the rest of them. They thought everyone else had been killed. They were too scared to come out of hiding. The helicopters were actually flying over. We could hear them. And at nighttime they were shining lights down, but we were hiding under banana leaves and whatever we could because we thought it was jim jones. I pretty much thought i was going to die in there because, you know in the jungle. Yeah. Because we were hungry. We were thirsty. We had fevers. It was, you know, pretty all of us were sick. Pretty sure it was the second night we all huddled in this little hole that was like a water hole. They sensed an animal nearby. And my sister said, tracy, be quiet. She whispered it to me. Be quiet. Dont even breathe. To this day they dont know what it was. By next morning, the youngsters wanted to be found. Wed see a light off to the distance, and wed get running toward it and it would be a big hole up in the top where the sun was coming down through the trees. The group came to this river and started across. I almost drowned. We had our clothes on and boots and everything else, plus we were weak from no food and no water and no sleep. Tracy sank. Her sisters boyfriend rea
