Re: Vietnam Gallery of Completions
It’s about 10:30 on April 30th 1975 and the Vietnam War has minutes left before the end.
First Lieutenant Bui Quang Than, the Commander of Tank 843 has just made a hash of getting through the right hand gate of the Saigon Presidential Palace. He had been riding on the front of his tank when it rammed the gate post and nearly got hit by the falling lamp that had become dislodged by the impact. He then jumps off the tank and runs with the NV flag to the Palace, then to the pole on the roof to hoist the NV flag, thus ending the war.
Youtube video of the moment (sound might be a tad loud):
