Sheriff Mark Lamb

And so I run out to the balcony and sure enough, I mean, I'm watching trace arounds, hit these buildings, skipping off into the ocean.

I'm watching gunships shooting, machine gun fire on all.

We had all four views we could go see.

I could see there was four Navy SEALs that died that night on the airstrip in Punta Paidea.

I could see that firefight going on from our apartment that night.

And so it was a full-on...

just right in the middle of this war.

Somebody says it wasn't war, but it was certainly a military exercise where they're bombing, shooting.

And you're 17?

I'm 17.

What are you thinking at 17 years old?

I'm thinking this is cool.

I'm thinking this is awesome.

But then it was, we didn't have any, so...

Where the building we were in that night, I remember looking over the balcony and I see this limousine down at the bottom of our building.

And I'm watching this guy load an RPG into the trunk of the car, this limousine.

Little did I know that night, we found out the next day, they had a list of all the Americans in our building.

There was Americans on the third floor, there was Americans on the fourth floor, there was Americans on the 10th floor, which was us, and there was Americans on the 11th floor.

And...

Most of them in Panama, when you're an American and you're not military, they think you're CIA.
