The evacuation of Saigon was a complex and confusing time....and the flying conditions for US Marine Helicopters flying from ships offshore was hectic for sure with great risk to the crews from fatigue, darkness, and escaping Vietnamese aircraft.
In the confusion, Eleven Marines from a Security Detachment were left behind and had to be rescued at great risk to the Helicopter Crew that retrieved them from the Embassy.
In the evacuation a CH-46 was lost and two Pilots killed and their bodies not recovered.
