Who does not know this famous photo? It was shot on June 8, 1972 during the Vietnam War by Nick Út.
The shot, which has become a symbol of the conflict, shows Kim Phuc at the age of nine when, completely naked, escapes from a village running along a road along with other children after being severely burned on his arms and back by a bombing at Napalm of the South Vietnamese air forces. The photographer, who took some photographs to the villagers, including Phuc, won the Pulitzer Prize for that photo, which was later selected as the 1972 World Press Photo of the Year. The picture of Phúc running Naked in chaos became one of the most famous images of the Vietnam War. After photographs, Út brought Kim Phuc and the other injured children to Saigon Hospital, where the girl was treated for fourteen months and died after seventeen interventions. Recalling that affair, Kim Phúc said he was screaming at that moment "Burn! Burn!" As he was heavily burned by the bomb.
