On April 30, 1975, Sandy Gall was one of the few Western journalists to stay in Saigon to witness the South Vietnamese capital s fall to the forces of the Communist North.
In previous days, chaotic scenes at the American embassy had provided the most iconic images of this final act of the Vietnam War.
Thousands of locals who had reason to fear the victors begged and fought to be allowed aboard the last U.S. helicopters taking a lucky few from the embassy roof to navy vessels lying offshore.
That morning Gall, later ITN s distinguished newscaster, entered the by now abandoned and looted compound and climbed to the helipad on the roof.

Qismat Amin’s adjustment to life in America wasn’t easy but, by his own account, it could have been much worse. For the Afghan former combat interpreter, 29, the truly hellish part was what came in the years before he arrived in San Francisco in 2017.
Amin was laid off by his employer, the US military, in 2013, when the Obama administration sought to wind down American forces in Afghanistan. He had served alongside US soldiers for three years, starting at the age of 19, but then spent much of his twenties inside his house in the southern Afghan city of Jalalabad, with the door locked. Fighters from the terrorist group ISIS, which at that time was only just emerging in Afghanistan, had his name on a list of targets. They wanted him to confess to his “crime” of collaborating with the US military.
A former Afghan translator who worked with British forces on the frontline has been assassinated by the Taliban, who boasted that he had died like a dog .
Feda Mohammad, 42, was shot several times at point blank range after reportedly driving into an ambush in an area known for attacks by insurgents.
His devastated family said yesterday that he had been killed by gunmen in a revenge attack because he had worked for Nato forces against the Taliban.
His brother Wali said Mr Mohammad had received repeated death threats and had died in a targeted killing near the border with Pakistan in Afghanistan s eastern Paktia province as he went to work at a training facility for police cadets.
