The site was a target of bombardments of U.S Air Forces so as to stop the transportation of Vietnamese Forces. On November 14, 1972,  a catastrophic   bomb of U.S Air Forces aimed to the site and caused  a huge stone of 1000 tons collapsed to lock 8 voluntary youths inside the cave. Nine days after that, there was no hope for saving their life, all 8 volunteer were sacrificed as their ages were around 20.

Today, the Eight Lady Cave is a place to commemorate heroic martyr and  spiritual tourism on the 20 Road.
