The Vietnam girl

The photo was taken almost by chance by a photographer named Nick Ut, in the village Trang Bang, some 40 km of "Saigon", in early June 1972.
Several photographers and hundreds of refugees were on the outskirts of the village when, about one in the afternoon, two South Korean Skyraider Aviation bombed with napalm and white phosphorous in the village. A group of South Vietnamese civilians and soldiers left the village temple and ran into the group of refugees and journalists. Amid the smoke and flames, civilian groups with terrible burns followed by the main road running toward the photographers and southern troops. Among them, the photograph: an older woman who was screaming for help, with a baby in her arms, dead from burns. Most photographers emptied his reel in this stunning image, including Nick Ut, who used one of his Leicas and Nikon. It is very common for photojournalists have several cameras, which saves valuable seconds that it takes to change the optical or, at that time in rewind or change the reel. And that's exactly what happened.

When everyone was rewinding and changing the reels of their cameras, Nick heard a girl running towards them, without their clothes, which had burned, completely covered in burns and screaming, "Nong qua, nong qua "(" very hot, very hot "). Nick Ut had four cameras. And his Leica M2, still loaded with Kodak 400 film, made them go into the history of photography.

The girl, aged nine, was named Phan Thi Kim Phuc and the photographers themselves offered him shelter and then covered with blankets to provide medical care. Then at night in the hotel, found the reels and more than 200 photos selected this and more. The image was sent and was home the next day in newspapers around the world. Photo of the Year was the World Press Photo 1972 and in 1973, received the Pulitzer.

Of the dozens of thousands of photos from the Vietnam War, arguably the most shocked the conscience of the West, marked a milestone in the social rejection of the war, changed the way you see what happened in Vietnam and became its own right in symbol and icon of the twentieth century.
