Hugh Van Es, Fall of Saigon Photographer, Dies at 67

Hugh Van Es, whose photo of the 1975 fall of Saigon became one of the most famous images of the Vietnam War, has died. Van Es died in Hong Kong after suffering a brain hemorrhage. He was 67.

The Dutch photographer was one of many journalists to cover the Vietnam War. He became famous for his photograph of a helicopter rescuing people from what many believe is the roof of the US embassy in Saigon.

“One of the best-known images of the Vietnam War shows something other than what almost everyone thinks it does,” Van Es said of the photograph in 2005.
