Huu Tiep Lake and the Downed B-52

Huu Tiep Lake is a war memorial located in Hanoi. Popularly known as B-52 lake, it features a US B-52 bomber that was shot down on the night of 27 December 1972 during the Vietnam War. The wrecked bomber in the algae-green water is a symbol of Vietnam's victory over the United States. It is also a constant reminder of the violence and the endless number of people who lost their lives during the war. An inscription near the lake with the words: "outstanding feat of arm that brought down the bomber of the US imperialist" celebrates the courage and determination of Vietnam that led to its victory.

Under the name “Maison Centrale”, Hoa Lo became one of the largest and the most brutal prison complexes in Indochina.
