occupied by North Vietnamese forces. Kim Phuc joined a group of civilians and
South Vietnamese soldiers who were fleeing from the Caodai Temple to the safety
of South Vietnamese-held positions. A South Vietnamese Air Force pilot mistook
the group for enemy soldiers and diverted to attack. The bombing killed two of
Kim Phuc's cousins and two other villagers. Kim Phuc was badly burned and tore
off her burning clothes. Associated Press photographer Nick Ut's photograph of
Kim Phuc running naked amid other fleeing villagers, South Vietnamese soldiers
