Interesting info.

I've never known much about that famous photo, until doing some wikipedia research on it now.

Did you know there is video from the same moment that Vietnam picture was taken?

From what I read, the baby being carried didn't survive.

The girl - all grown up- who now lives in Ontario:

Another link between the 2 photos... The Vietnamese girl was literally crying "TOO HOT, TOO HOT", while we all know the other one has some similar catchphrase.

Wrong photo of Paris - this one is not by Nick Ut.
