Ну а теперь ,
Вперед в прошлое ....
Когда самой крупной аывиакомпанией мира был Аэрофлот, а № 2 - Pan American
Когда уже начал летать Боинг 707 "Jet" , но Pan Am еще только разместил заказ на создание 747-ого "Jumbo Jet",
Когда Bank of America готовился выпустить первую банковскую карту, которую позднее назовут VISA ...
И единственное, что от этого осталось, так это то , что:
Сайгон так и остался Sunny Saigon - "солнечный Сайгон" .... как и Магадан
Прошлое .... Тут оно тоже под ногами ....
Хотя и совсем иное , чем в Мх

.... the opening of the first purpose-built US Embassy on boulevard de la Somme (Hàm Nghi boulevard) in 1950.
The first US Embassy building at 39 Hàm Nghi was the model for the “American Legation”
where CIA agent Alden Pyle worked in Graham Greene’s The Quiet American.
...
Today, the building at 39 Hàm Nghi houses the Hồ Chí Minh City Banking University.
The second US Embassy building at 4 Thống Nhất (now the site of today’s
US Consulate General at 4 Lê Duẩn) – a US$2.6 million fortress opened
on 23 September 1967 ....
О подрыве 30/03/1965 (перевод - чуть позднее)
Как это описывает "политически НЕ ангажированное" WiKi
1965 Embassy bombing
On March 30, 1965, the Viet Cong detonated a car-bomb outside the
embassy. The attack occurred when a Vietnamese policeman began
arguing with the driver of a car parked in front of the embassy but the
driver refused to leave and then another Viet Cong member drove up
alongside the car and fired on the policeman. Quickly following
the brief exchange of fire, the car, which contained 300 pounds of
plastic explosives, detonated in front of the embassy killing two Americans, one female CIA employee, Barbara Robbins and another American, as well as 19 Vietnamese and one Filipino serving in the U.S. Navy along with injuring 183 others.
The U.S. Congress appropriated $1 million to reconstruct the embassy in
a new location following the attack and although retaliatory raids on
North Vietnam were suggested, U.S. President Lyndon Johnson
refused.
Following the attack, South Vietnamese Foreign Minister Tran Van Do
posthumously decorated Barbara Robbins and the Filipino navy serviceman
with the Medal of Honor First Class
On 30 March 1965, it became the target of another car bomb attack, this
time by NLF Special Forces Team F21, which killed 22 and injured 183,
prompting the relocation of the US Embassy in 1967 to a more secure
location at 4 Thống Nhất (now Lê Duẩn) boulevard.
