A US Air Force M220BFL rough terrain fork lift moves a pallet of luggage of evacuees from the Philippine Islands. The evacuation is the result of the June 10 eruption of Mount Pinatubo, which deposited more than four inches of volcanic ash on the Islands. More than 20,000 evacuees have been removed from the area as a part of the US military's Operation Fiery Vigil
