That girl is Kim Phuc. She was 9 years old in 1972 when she was photographed, screaming in pain, after a U.S. commander ordered South Vietnamese planes to drop napalm near her village. She told NPR's Terry Gross, "I saw the fire over my body. And my clothes just burn off." The burns covered more than half of her body, and she lost consciousness. On June 8, 1972, AP photographer Nick Ut took this photo of 9-year-old Kim Phuc as she ran from an aeral napalm attack. Nick Ut/AP The picture got my attention because is very impactant at first sight.
