For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

29th June 1973 in Santiago de Chile. Leonardo Henrichsen, a Swedish Argentinean cameraman working for SVT, Sucesos Argentinos, and NBC was outside La Moneda, the presidential palace, trying to film an attempted military coup against President Salvador Allende.
An old truck stops across the street and a soldier gets out and starts to shoot into the air. Henrichsen's lens zooms in the soldier, who aims the pistol directly at him. Shouting, shots, chaos, and moments later, Leonardo lays sprawled on the pavement, while his camera points up at a blank sky. A soldier rushes over to him, grabs the camera, yanks out a reel of film and destroys it, unaware that there is a second chamber with six minutes of exposed film inside.

Henrichsen dies before he arrives at the hospital. This is witnessed by Eduardo Labarca, a Chilean journalist. He saw the soldier throwing the camera out into a sewer and managed to recover it two days later. The 16mm Eclair camera was still in one piece and the exposed film was intact. Henrichsen's images were smuggled out of the country and broadcast around the world.
