What happened to that young asian girl running naked from the bombs?

Question

there were other young kids and solderis in the background. does anyone know what im talking about. its that famous picture of that young naked girl. what became of her?

Answer 1

She was operated on in military hospital at the insistence of the man who photographed her. Originally the medics wanted to triage her but he insisted that she be treated because the world needed to know who she was. She married another Vietnamese man, went to school in Cuba, defected to Canada on a stop-over on a flight to Moscow and now does speaking engagements for the non-profit she founded in order to promote peace.

Answer 2

Phan Thị Kim Phúc, the 9 year old girl in the picture has had a long and eventful life.  To see the whole story click the source below.  I'm a Viet Nam vet and I'm sure you'll get some idiots that don't know their *** from a hole in the ground making politically disparaging remarks over one of the tragedies in the war.

Answer 3

I think you mean the one running from the bombs in Hiroshima when the americans dropped the first atomic bombs at the end of WW2 in 1945.

I think some journalists went back to Japan many years later and interviewed her. She lived.

Answer 4

she was on oprah the other day

Answer 5

EDIT---i did some research and this is a photo of her now..
