  • 22 Gia Long Street (Vietnamese: số 22 đường Gia Long, [jaː lawŋ] yaw-loung), now 22 Lý Tự Trọng Street (số 22 đường Lý Tự Trọng), is an apartment building in Ho Chi Minh City (also known as Saigon), the largest city in Vietnam. In 1975, photojournalist Hubert van Es, working for UPI, captured an iconic photo of U.S government employees evacuating the city by helicopter during the Fall of Saigon, the last major battle of the Vietnam War. The evacuation was code named Operation Frequent Wind. The image was widely misreported as showing Americans crowding on to the roof of the United States Embassy to board a helicopter. In reality, the apartment complex, called the Pittman Apartments, housed employees of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), with its top floor reserved for the Central Intelligence Agency's deputy chief of station; the embassy was located at 4 Thống Nhứt Boulevard (now Lê Duẩn Boulevard), about 950 metres (0.59 mi) to the north-northeast. The photo depicts an Air America Huey helicopter landing on the roof of the elevator shaft to evacuate employees of the U.S. government as North Vietnamese People's Army of Vietnam troops entered Saigon. The frequent misunderstanding of what the photograph shows stems from a change made to the photograph's caption at the Tokyo office of United Press International (UPI). Although the photographer van Es submitted the photo to UPI with an accurate caption, UPI's Tokyo office changed the caption so it falsely read: "A U.S. helicopter evacuating employees of the U.S. embassy." Although van Es repeatedly attempted to correct the error, his efforts were "futile" and he eventually "gave up." Thus, as van Es has explained, "[O]ne of the best known images of the Vietnam War shows something other than what almost everyone thinks it does." At the end of the war, Saigon was renamed Ho Chi Minh City, and Gia Long Street (named for the emperor Gia Long, reigned 1802–1820) was renamed Lý Tự Trọng Street, in honor of a 17-year-old communist executed by the French. Visitors are allowed access to the roof by taking the elevator to the 9th floor. As the 2021 Taliban offensive led to the Fall of Kabul, reporters drew comparisons between the evacuation at 22 Gia Long Street to images of helicopter evacuations from the U.S. embassy in Kabul. The BBC continued to misreport the photo as showing the US Embassy, later changed to the non-existent "CIA station". (en)
  • 22 Gia Long Street (sekarang 22 Lý Tự Trọng Street) adalah di Kota Ho Chi Minh, waktu itu bernama Saigon, yang menjadi simbol Jatuhnya Saigon setelah dipilih sebagai titik kumpul untuk Operasi Frequent Wind tahun 1975. Seorang fotografer Belanda yang bekerja untuk UPI, Hubert van Es, mengabadikan sebuah foto yang menggambarkan kepanikan pada hari-hari terakhir Perang Vietnam. Banyak orang meyakini bahwa foto tersebut menampilkan warga Amerika Serikat yang putus asa untuk naik ke atap Kedutaan Besar Amerika Serikat demi menaiki helikopter. Bangunan tersebut sebenarnya apartemen yang ditempati oleh karyawan United States Agency for International Development (USAID); lantai atasnya ditempati oleh Central Intelligence Agency. Foto ini menampilkan milik mendarat di atap lorong lift dalam misi evakuasi karyawan pemerintah Amerika Serikat setelah tentara memasuki Saigon. Alamatnya saat ini adalah 22 Lý Tự Trọng Street (namanya diambil dari Lý Tự Trọng, komunis berusia 17 tahun yang dieksekusi pemerintah Prancis) dan pengunjung tidak diizinkan naik ke atap. (in)
