Few who have seen Nick Ut’s Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph could forget the sight of 10-year-old Kim Phuc, running naked and wounded from a napalm attack. Ut helped to save Kim’s life, and the two became lifelong friends. They talk here about the day the napalm bombs dropped.
Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Vietnam War 1945–1975.
How did the Vietnam War define a generation? In our groundbreaking exhibition “The Vietnam War: 1945-1975,” the New-York Historical Society examined the causes, progression, and consequences of one of the most controversial events of the 20th century. On view at New-York Historical from October 4, 2017 – April 22, 2018.

Oh PHUC
It's the worst tragedy. I can't believe this terrible thing is repeated in the 21st century
Tears…
"i just want to protect my country and family"… yeeahhhh soldier, assholes like you are the reason we have wars. Fight for the wealth of old men, how stupid must someone be
That is so sad and terrifying, I don't even know the point of war, cause of greed? selfishness? anger? hate? maybe all of those reason and more, I feel terrible for the lives lost and for the injured and scared, and traumitized
Murrica as usual
USA is the biggest Nation dirty murder Asholl of the War….
I think Americans forget they are just as brutal as the other menacing countries ,they just don't talk about it.
May god bless
Think ABOUT em all that get cancer Becuz of a SILLY war
Why so many Philippino journalists report the war news
Fucking small plane and big bomb it must be fucking news
USA News Station Reporting: "Children seen here were victims of the south Vietnamese army"…………….that is all you need to know about this war
She's nude though.
The real Terror is USA actually

Eso les pasa por esconder guerrilleros en zonas publicas

I really wished US citizens suffer everything their nation did to others. It's not democracy that their nation is supporting, not freedom. It is terror… Fear… Destruction…
smells like victory
Terrible injustice!
يا الله 🥺
2:12 what happened to the baby afterwards?
Oh the horrors of war. 😔
Ohh ok so America didn't do anything they just bombing each other. Why no one blaming America?
USA has perpetrated more atrocities on humans than any other country in the world. UK is a close second. You guys should hang your heads in utter shame…
I already know there’s people in the comments wishing the same to Americans because it’s in there dna to hate America and it makes me sick
The actions of the United States in Vietnam are a stain on America forever. War against children is just insane!
Those pictures of Kim, Skin peeling off, made my Eyes leak. Very Hard Hitting Images.
wonderful happy end!
😭😭😭😭
All because Nixon wanted to make sure they had a Coca Cola to go along with that bowl of rice!
Kim Phuc had an appropriate name. The US govt phucked her over real bad. Poor kid.
I Remember!
This is happening In Ukraine everyday just hate to see what we don't see .war is hell . Please pray for peace..
It gets nasty,brutal & bloody for everyone if Uncle Sam ( the US ) & her poodle allies ( Britain & other Western countries ) intervene in any country or territory on any issue, for the wrong reasons.
4:22 Like Christ, she had to suffer for the power-hungry egotist sinners.
Les americains n'ont pas change depuis la guerre du Vietnam. Ils sont toujours une nation perfide, barbares, sans moralite, et toujours prete a demarer une guerre quand celle la les arrange. Ils ont bien tue plus de civils en iraq, en afganistan, en syrie, au vietnam, en libye, etc, qu'aucun autres pays au monde. Ils ont commence avec le genocide des amerindiens. Ils sont avec leur allies de l'otan une malediction pour la planete. Le monde serait plus paisible et harmonieux sans ces nations criminelles et pananoiaques.
(2:37) The true War Hero we recognize in the very front of this scene.
I feel quite disappointed not to know the name of this Good Samaritian,
who bowed down to pour his bottle of water over her burnt skin !!!
Please tell me anyone the real name of John J. Rambo !!! – No, not Sylvester Stallone …
Just one of countless American war crimes.Don't forget the US also carpet bombed Cambodia killing countless civilians on Nixon's orders.
what a good man…he helped them and he helped the vietnamese people….from the imperialist americans….
They did this during the whole war…but now they blame russia for taking back their own land

Yea, war is terrible for kids. I hope all cats and dogs they eat are fully grown and killed painlessly… Why the americans actually stop it. They left so much unfinished work there.
Amerika neredeyse acı orada..
benciller!
Mỹ là nước duy nhất thả 2 quả bom hạt nhân vào nhật bản và họ gọi đó là yêu chuộng hoà bình . Chết tiệt
Crazy how americans abused their power on bombs…
