The Fall of Saigon - NBC Nightly News clip from April 30, 1975

Last edited Thu May 15, 2025, 12:09 AM - Edit history (1)

This is a slightly edited clip from NBC Nightly News on April 30, 1975, introduced by John Chancellor about the fall of Saigon to North Vietnam.

As a '90s kid whose mom would watch Jennings and Brokaw often, I've been looking for 1975 TV news clips to take a break from all the crap going on under the current times.

It is on PBS. I get so pissed off I have to stop watching in order to calm down.

The film Hearts and Minds has the same effect on me.
