- Over the course of the Vietnam war the U.S. dropped more explosives than were deployed during the entire Second World War. Of those explosives, about 10 percent failed to detonate. Much of the explosive devices remain buried in Vietnam's countryside.CCTV's Tony Cheng traveled to the central region of Vietnam where people are trying to defuse these deadly leftovers of a war that happened decades ago.

No mention of the Russian and Chinese munitions....
Because the number of munition deployed by the VC and NVA were only small fraction of what US deployed, and it's mostly artillery and mortar shell. Also, the way NVA use their munition is also different from how US use the munition. Since they don't have the resources available to US, they tend to use their weapons sparingly and at specific target. US forces, with their vast resources, and due to the guerilla nature of VC and NVA, often saturate a huge area with large number of bombs and shells. So unlike US unexplode ordnance, Vietnamese unexploded ordnance usually concentrated in the area in and around the battlefield. So they are easier to find. Not to say it doesn't exist. VC often relied on boobytrap, mines and IED. This may remain hidden to this day, until someone step on it. There's also unexplode hand grenade from both sides.
U stupid a*s, itz coz there r none
Don't forget the French munitions. Also, the Vietnamese would go and find unexplored mentions and repurpose it, then sent or give it back to US forces. I've heard there were VC and NVA personal trained to catch and throw grenades back. Weather that's true or not.
That’s what I was thinking. Like we caused all this
Russian forces in Afghanistan they were also unexploding bombs there too . While China after they withdraw there forces in Vietnam in 1979 they also left unexploding ordinance too
And there are still tons of munitions found leftover from WWI every year. That war ended over 100 years ago.
To be fair some of the things shown in the film were not American.
That's CCTV so I'm not surprised....
I don't think it was about whose fault as much as it was about the unexploded ordnance and the damage it still causes.
King Snowman, I don't dispute your comment but can't you see the biased (albeit liberal) slant in this video? Even a blind man can see it! Its almost like they were trying to make it sound like it was solely the USA's fault for all this un-exploded ordinance but I saw a LOT of un-exploded communist ordinance in this video as well.
+Phayzyre105 who elses fault was it
steve boy could’ve been the french in the first indochina war
Call the Rothschilds, make them pay reparations to these poor Vietnamese villagers.
The 'gift' that keeps on giving!
Belgium and France have the same problem. Both HSBC swaths of land filled with unexploded shells from WWI.
Weed Man you
Here's what the video is saying, "If only the evil Americans were as kind and loving as the communists."
RTD yeah, how dare they show footage and relics of American explosives dropped on civilian villages
@@mikelindell9784 they were dropped to keep the free people free
@@wb3161 By that logic, the people ‘they wanted to keep free’ were the same group that were Raped, Poisoned, and left with Birth defects for generations to come. If you survived the My Lai massacre, you would have every right to hate those who cause you harm, ‘those’ being the Americans.
Only if america didnt poke its nose in Russo Afghan war, Afghanistan wud have been a country worth living in n not a wasteland of tribal headhunters n Taliban(fyi created by america)
@@visionary_8865 I’m pretty sure we didn’t go in there because it was a civilized country that cared about the decent people living there.let countries take more and more control and eventually you’re under their control
"help from the US"? Sad yes, but why was he not asked what help they are giving our Vietnam vets or the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS South Vietnamese who were thrown in re education camps and lost everything. And let's not forget, that North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam, not the other way around. MILLIONS of free people LOST their freedom.
That’s exactly right my friend that understands
You are stupid, please watch everything us damaged Vietnam, especially north Vietnam. We are Vietnamese fight for freedom, Vietnam is one, no different other countries can invade😡😡
Ok Us bring many bombs to Vietnam and we must need to thank Us???🙂
Today, Vietnam people is having happy life and freedom, no rely on any coutries
You dont die for your country, you make him die for his...

The NVA fired a lot of this stuff at the Americans as well! they are just as guilty!
It is so easy and convenient to blame America.
Stephen Webb Great Britain has always been blamed for its Empire
Yes very convenient to blame the Americans, like the Americans Russians and the British blamed everything on the Germans in worldwar2.
I dont think this is about balming anyone
Yeah them NVA Boobytraps were everywhere and so was ours...sad isn't?
If I could go over there and help find that stuff I would. Wasn’t my war but I’m willing to help and put the past behind me and leave it there.
Its sad for both sides
The only winners were government .
Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪
Look at france Nd england and germany. Sams thing. The battlefield of verdun is fenced off because of 100 year old shells
Best way to see if there live shells..hit them with a hammer..if it rings hollow..its a dud..if it rings solid..its live 🤤
Tony Cheng needs a new more powerful antiperspirant.
this is crap...so all the people that get hurt because thier country refuses to help, is now the USA responsibility....well better call Germany, they owe the Jews a ton...smh
Timothy: If you think what we did to Vietnam was justified in any way, you're wrong. And yes, as a vet I do think we owe them at least the courtesy of getting our unexplored ordnance out of harms way. We have made absolutely no reparations to help the victims of the Military Industrial Complex that jackbooted into THEIR country to make a ton of money off their misery.
you totally missed the point. liberals....you guys are why the US is in the shape it's in. North Vietnam killed more of Vietnamese than we did.
Darkzz Lord so you think killing Jewish people because they were Jewish is ok?....sick, I'm glad you are paying. what is wrong with you?
And Germany has compensated "a ton" to Jews. Certainly a great deal more than US has given to Vietnam: "The Reparations Agreement between Israel and the Federal Republic of Germany (German: Luxemburger Abkommen "Luxembourg Agreement" or Wiedergutmachungsabkommen "Wiedergutmachung Agreement",[1] Hebrew: הסכם השילומים Heskem HaShillumim "Reparations Agreement") was signed on September 10, 1952,[2] and entered in force on March 27, 1953.[3] According to the Agreement, West Germany was to pay Israel for the costs of "resettling so great a number of uprooted and destitute Jewish refugees" after the war, and to compensate individual Jews, via the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, for losses in Jewish livelihood and property resulting from Nazi persecution.[4]"
How many Americans were killed by Vietnamese in the US Civil War? The point is that the only reason the war killed as many as it did was because we supported the South Vietnamese government. No one disputes that Ho Chi Minh would have won the national elections in Vietnam had they been held as agreed to in the Geneva Accords.
Those bombs in the beginning are foreign not American......
the US didn't even get a chance to clean up after the war
The battle of Amway
Oh well
Everybody gangsta till the trees start speaking Vietnamese
10%seems kinda steep. I don't think those numbers are correct. Maybe 1-3%.
Sad. War. All for what. My father ww2 said we did not win the war. But thank God we did not lose ww2 yours Evans w robinson
Depleted uranium now people grow more than two legs yay!
This isn't the time, or place, for Selfishness and Fingerpointing!! The damage was done, which is, The Past. What are we going to do about "that" problem, Today? I did my Best to help during the War, as a Combat Medic from; 1967-1969. After Vietnam, 1969, i challenged Calif Board LVN-CORT-FA(Certified Operating Room Tec-First Assist) and i went Back to Southeast Asia and worked with the Thomas E. Dooley Aid Foun., in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. Working with civilians wounded and injuried by unexploded ordinances. "If there is a Will, There Is A Way".
Some of that is soviet , not all american
very hard to believe america lost that war with that many ordinance dropped, does that show how well the enemy was dug in or someone got the wrong info when dropped, but those guys now finding unexploded ordinance, are somewhat heroes as well, i think.
How the hell do people say the USA lost the war when they pulled out almost 2 years before south Vietnam fell. It is like saying a football team lost the game even though they were not even playing.
you lost
MrSkypony accept it you lost because you quit.
If Only Media And Politics Stayed Out Of Vietnam Would We Had Won The NVA NVC Said Multiple Times That American Had Them Beat To Brink Of Surrender But Said American Stupid For Not Using More Helicopters And Bombs And Had Less Soldiers On The Ground
We Americans gave up and went home. The people back home were tired of an endless no win war. The guys there were tired of it, at least some of them were. Others were determined to win.
Vietnam should clean up its own Toilet Bowl shithouse. Bottom line don't be an enemy of Uncle Sam.
Sweating much Tony?
Only 10 %......those american made weapons are pretty high quality.
Good report without dramatics or theme music
Owell
Both sides was at fault
It takes two to tango, China & Russia backed North Vietnam. Wars are fought with weapons & munitions.
Hold up did she say explosives from ww2 are still in Vietnam??
Jerreinemy she said more explosives were dropped in nam than ww2. Actually, it was more than ww1 and ww2 combined.
Sức mạnh dân chủ Mĩ đây chứ đâu!?
America bringing "freedom"
Takes two to tango.....
Good, they deserve it for their misconduct regarding POW/MIA issues.
Of course the Americans treated their prisoners acording tot the Geneva Convention....or did they torture and kill them ...?
Ok. So how about the innocent land farmer who had nothing to do with the war
@@gordongiobanni7543 the ones that helped lay mines and hide weapons?
@@upcomingcloudrapperluca7645 most were forced
@@gordongiobanni7543 Yeah they say that but it's hard to believe. The whole country hated America
Don't be a communist
We own them nothing
Every one of them came out of the hides of the American tax payer of the 1950s and 1960s. Each one was a possible consumer good, something that we Americans could have turned into a net positive for the world. The raw materials for them, the metals and explosives, could have been put to far better use.
Instead, they were rained down on people who never did a single thing here in CONUS to anyone. Be one thing if the Vietnamese had been to the US and done bad things but that was not the case.
Much of the explosives was dropped on Laos and Cambodia.
There is alot more then just this in terms of why and how the US was involved in that war, south Vietnam and North wer already at odds but China and Russia along with America wer the sponsors, the US just decided to send men and not just supplies
@@EndlingsShoes "There is alot more then just this in terms of why and how the US was involved in that war,"
The Pentagon Papers showed the ulterior motives for this war. A partnership between government and industry, and money for the right people.
@@jamallabarge2665 That's all war, it's allways money and industry and nothing more unless your the country being invaded, Thare was also a heavy ant comunist sentiment that they went into the war with but over the years it devolved into just wanting to get something out of it beacuse the us was wasteing to much time money and resorses on the war and the people wer unhappy with it, but to point just at the US doing that is pointing at a lesser evil with what Russia was doing with it's people along with china (boath of them are bad being frank with you, the US should have left the Vit's to thare own devices) also im sorry if the spelling is off or anything i have a bit of a language barrier but im just trying to have a freindly conversation on the subject seince it's hard to find people willing to talk about it
Sometimes I wonder why Americans keep fighting to help oppressed people from communist tyranny’s and oppression if these people area so happy in it all. Now Americans spit in the face of all veterans to embrace socialism here. We have given the world so many good things yet we are always the bad guys. I wonder if Muslim countries will pay for all hurt or killed in the name Allah? Does anyone even expect them too? I am proud to be an American and I wish the world would quiet the hatred of us due to their envy of the world we have and that they would give anything to have or to come here and live. Millions of Americans aren’t leaving to go to their countries unless they are soldiers, missionaries, and peace workers that go there to help them out!
we still dig up bombs in hawaii that japan dropped on us and no one helped us, if the VC would have stayed in the country North Viet Nam and left South Viet Nam alone we wouldn't even be talking about this, South Viet Nam ask the UN for help, it was the UN not America that went their
You are misinformed. S Vietnam and its western allies agreed with the North in the 1954 Geneva Convention to hold free elections to determine whether the country would be unified. When it was apparent that Ho Chi Minh (the Vietnamese George Washington) was popular and would win, they decided to go back on their word and the elections were never held. That’s why the north invaded. It’s like Lincoln invading the Confederate states.
Off course land of the free is compensating these people for their ilegal intervention in Vietnam
😂🤣😂
“Lots of unexploded bombs in Quang Tri”
( “Why was that?” )
“Quang Tri was the most northern province of South Vietnam”
(“And....?”)
“That is from where we were invading the South.”
(“I see. You were the invader. They were protecting themselves from you)
Where ever america steps a foot, death follows. Good lord this time the devil got a lesson for life in Vietnam. Kudos to Vietnamese people for outstanding courage
VC is known for its lying,
now whole country is
one unit of liar
I mean everybody
You go find it out when you a chance, or if you want to

Straight up BS cry for me
