Linebacker II was the last major American bombing campaign of the Vietnam War. It involved B-52 raids on the industrialized and heavily populated area between Ha Noi and Hiaphong. On December 27, 1972, North Vietnamese surface to air missles in Ha Noi shot down a B-52 that landed in Huu Tiep Lake. This tiny lake in the Ngoc Ha neighborhood of Ba Dinh District is known as B-52 Lake. Part of the wreckage remains as a monument to the war effort. I visited in 2016.

Thanks for this post. Perhaps I’ll go there the next time I go to Vietnam.

The lake is hard to find I think you would enjoy the challenge and strolling through the Ha Noi neighborhoods.

I guess so. Perhaps renting a motorbike would be a cozy option. 🙂

We had plans to visit Vietnam in mid-March, and then COVID-19 came along…

Vietnam has had only about 300 cases and 0 deaths! It is getting to the point where it is safer to risk travel to a country like Vietnam where Covid-19 is contained than to stay in the US where the virus is not contained and every movement outside the house carries a definite risk.

or is it a case of people walking around Vietnam and not knowing they have it, or perhaps being underreported. It’s so hard to trust news from anywhere anymore, including the U.S. …

I wholeheartedly agree that under reporting and misclassification are possible everywhere. Vietnam didn’t do massive testing. It did take the problem seriously begining in early January and instituted lockdowns, flight cancellations and a robust contact tracing program. I think at this point I’d feel safer moving around there than I would here.
