50 years on, war photographer Nick Ut looks back on iconic photo with 'Napalm Girl' Kim Phuc
Fifty years ago a young photojournalist covering the war in his native Vietnam took a photograph and saved the life of a young girl badly burned by a napalm attack.
Key points:
- The photo was taken when South Vietnamese planes dropped napalm on troops and civilians
- After taking the photo, Nick Ut took Kim Phuc to a hospital, saving her life
- The events that day inspired a friendship that has endured for half a century
The photo won a Pulitzer Prize and the events that day inspired a friendship that has endured for half a century.
The girl, naked and screaming, ran directly toward Nick Ut's camera — and into history.
Her name is Kim Phuc, and the instant the Associated Press photographer captured her image 50 years ago — on June 8, 1972 — she became more than a victim of a napalm strike on a Vietnamese hamlet.
"Right now, I don't think it is 50 years ago. It just amazed me. I just think, like just yesterday," Ms Phuc said.
She was and is an international symbol of that unpopular war, and of the torment inflicted on innocent people in all wars.
Mr Ut said he hopes the legacy of the image is that "you need to help the people".
