Vietnam 'Napalm Girl' gets final burn treatment in Florida 50 years later

“I heard the noise, bup-bup bup-bup, and then suddenly there was fire everywhere around me and I saw the fire all over my arm,” Kim Phuc said Tuesday about the 1972 bombing

Known around the world as "Napalm Girl," Kim Phuc was just 9-years-old when she was photographed running away after a napalm bomb struck her village in Vietnam in June 1972.

Now 50 years later, Phuc has received her final round of treatment for the pain and scars she suffered that day.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning photo capturing the harrowing moment has remained iconic, serving as a lasting reminder of the horrors of war. But for Phuc, now 59, the physical pain from that moment has also lingered. The war survivor was in Miami Tuesday to undergo her 12th treatment for the burns.
