When Brian Flanagan reflects on his time as part of the Weather Underground Organization , he has this to say : " I was regretful over about 5 percent of what we did . " He added , " I think 95 percent of what we did was great , and we 'd do it again . " " And what was the 5 percent ? The town house . " When pressed , Flanagan said that he regretted " the deaths of the three Weathermen Ted Gold , Diana Oughton and Terry Robbins and the plan to bomb the dance at Fort Dix and the library at Columbia University , which could have taken lives . " The Townhouse Explosion was the tragic and dramatic culmination of the grim political direction in which Weatherman had been headed . Laura Whitehorn , a former member of Weatherman , said : " We were out of touch with what was going on , and we lost sight of the fact that if you ’re a revolutionary , the first thing you have to try to do is preserve human life . " The Weather Underground Organization dedicated their book '' Prairie Fire '' to Oughton ( as well as Sirhan Sirhan and many others )
