A very sad video from the Veitnam war. When was the event? What was her name? I understand she married later and now lives in the US but I am not sure.

Answer 1

those poor babies, stuff that like that always makes me cry because it makes me think of my own babies and how I would be so devastated if they had to go through that.

I don't know who she is or what happened but I hope they all made it and led happier lives.

Answer 2

I´ve seen the photos , but I´ve never seen the video footage.

Heartbreaking.

Thanks to Diumuid as well for the link.

Answer 3

I'm old enough to remember the Vietnam War,and can remember seeing this on tv.The US committed many atrocities during this time,the most well known, being, 'My Lai'(sorry if I've spelt it incorrectly).

Also the British journalist,John Pilger,covered the war in detail.

Answer 4

What about the baby. He is worse, isn't he? It looked like almost a 100% burns. I bet he didn't make it.

an up date on the this little girl.

What terrible footage! war is a terrible thing especially for women and children.

Answer 6

I watched the video half an hour ago and was unable to look at any more questions as after watching that everything else seemed so irreverent We make these terrible weapons without a thought to the children and babies who are killed or maimed for life.When you see things like that one wonders if any wars are worth the suffering imposed on civilians

Answer 7

Answer 8

That was very hard to watch.  She lives in Canada now.
