1. I'm in a scene in Under Seige

As a kid.

Just as an extra. It was a pretty big deal as I remember. Then again I was just a kid.

2. I think it was with all the helicopters flying down the streets. I remember the state complaining

about the film company not repairing the capital dome like they were supposed to. I think they used too much explosive..

[EdwardBernays]

3. Yeah

They "shot" the dome with a round let launcher? Maybe?

I remember all the helicopters.

Much more sentimental to me is White Lightning. I was in Benton as a child in the late 70s/early 80s a fair bit and White Lightning is exactly what I remember of Benton.

4. Cool

I remember reading about that in the late great Arkansas Gazette.

Around the same time, Tim Curry of Rocky Horror fame was in Eureka Springs filming And Pass the Ammo.

8. I still

Think back at the last day of of Gazette..... Such a sad and stupid end.

9. Selling it to Gannett was a big mistake

As soon as Gannett took over, service started sucking. I was a subscriber at that time, and I wouldn't get my paper 3 or 4 days each week. I'd have to phone the local office to complain, and sometimes they'd deliver my paper later in the day, and sometimes they wouldn't. Someone would have to be a really dedicated subscriber to put up with that.

5. The missile silo explosion near Searcy happened just before the new school year started

The closest Arkansas came to a real "duck and cover" emergency was from one of our own missiles!

7. I remember reading about the Sultana

It was in a book called "Great American Disasters"
