29/30 April 1975 - Vietnam War: The fall of Saigon - 50 years ago today
How would you react if you had commandeered a Chinook helicopter and were flying over the South China Sea with little fuel, nowhere to land, your wife and children were on board and you're being hounded by North Vietnamese determined to bring you down?
That's the situation that confronted Ba Van Nguyen in the last 24 hours of the fall of Saigon on 29 April 1975. Ba's son Miki was in that Chinook and talks with great passion, humour and humility about that unforgettable day and his extraordinary father.
