Dear BC I think there is no much truth in it. I may be wrong . But what I know is that I saw the fighter jets coming directly to Emissora de Goa in Bambolim and destroyed the AIR Goa and the flames were seen in full swing. That was well planned. The jets must have done a good home work with the drawings etc and knew exactly where this AIR Goa was airing news. Portuguese never realized that this could have happened.I saw 3 jets from Portais where i had gone for No.2 in the Neugui Nagar bund ( for shitting). Once the explosion and fire took place I disappeared and whole our family left for safety at our relatives places in Taleigao and there also another problem. I was 17 years old and people told me that BNU-Panjim ( Banco National Ultramarino) brought Portuguese notes and burned them in Taleigao and many managed to collect and became rich. I was told by my father not to step out and remain at home. If I had gone I would also become rich. Also we heard guns noises from a lone vessel Afonso de Albuquerque naval fighter vessel gave a solid fight with the Indian naval fleet. What I want to say to BC is that the Portuguese transmitter AIR-Goa was destroyed completely and nothing could be salvage and taken to India. That is wrong rumours which this gentleman Naguesh Bhatcar said :
Quote: It was believed that the more powerful transmitter from the Portuguese Emissora de Goa was dismantled and carted away to Delhi, shortly after Liberation of Goa. Naguesh Bhatcar Senhor Bernado Colaco no transmitter was stolen by India troupes at that time. Please tell Nagesh. Later we went and seen that the area where the transmission was going on was destroyed completely as the fumes were seen in sky up. May be some few parts from transmitter might have been stolen. India have much better transmitters. These Portuguese ones are bsolete even if it was there.
