On the second night of the campaign one B-52D crew deviated from its' target and bombed the Gia Lam International airport, Hanoi's civilian airfield. Their bombing was very accurate. They cratered several runways, shattered the terminal and 2 Soviet airliners. One effect was to strand Joan Baez and her party in Hanoi for the duration of Linebacker II.
