Vietnam televised news coverage showed extensive air strikes at close range showing extensive damage and casualties of terrain, buildings, roads, and civilians, as well as around US troops engaged in battle. Firefights shown on the same TV coverage showed US casualties lying on the ground, being carried onto the tops of tanks, armored personnel carriers, jeeps, trucks, helicopters, etc. News footage frequently showed US Jet Fighter aircraft being struck by Surface to Air Missiles (SAM's), or Anti-Aircraft Artillery (AAA). News footage (released from Hanoi, capital of North Vietnam) showed US Airmen being captured and marched off to a Prisoner Of War camp. US news footage frequently showed US Naval aircraft being launched from aircraft carriers enroute to bomb North Vietnam. Some footage showed returning battle damaged naval aircraft crashing onto the carrier or crashing into the sea.
