Lost Over Laos: A True Story of Tragedy, Mystery, and FriendshipIn 1971, as American forces hastened their withdrawal from Vietnam, a helicopter was hit by enemy fire over Laos and exploded in a fireball, killing four top combat photographers, Larry Burrows of Life magazine, Henri Huet of Associated Press, Kent Potter of United Press International, and Keisaburo Shimamoto of Newsweek. The Saigon press corps and the American public were stunned, but the remoteness of the location made a recovery attempt impossible.
In 1971, as American forces hastened their withdrawal from Vietnam, a helicopter was hit by enemy fire over Laos and exploded in a fireball, killing four top combat photographers, Larry Burrows of Life magazine, Henri Huet of Associated Press, Kent Potter of United Press International, and Keisaburo Shimamoto of Newsweek. The Saigon press corps and the American public were stunned, but the remoteness of the location made a recovery attempt impossible. When the war ended four years later in a communist victory, the war zone was sealed off to outsiders, and the helicopter incident faded from most memories. Yet two journalists from the Vietnam press corps -- Richard Pyle, former Saigon Bureau Chief, and Horst Faas, Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer in Vietnam-pledged to return some day to Laos, resolve mysteries about the crash, and pay homage to their lost friends. True to their vow, twenty-seven years after the incident the authors joined a U.S. team excavating the hillside where the helicopter crashed. Few human remains were found, but camera parts and bits of film provided eerie proof of what happened there.The narrative of Lost Over Laos is framed in a period that was among the war's bloodiest, for both the military and the media, yet has received relatively little attention from historians. It is rich with behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the Saigon press corps and illustrated with stunning work by the four combat photographers who died and their colleagues.Binding Type: Paperback

Effective Cabin Air Filter – Fresh and Clean Air for My Car
I recently replaced my car’s cabin air filter with the AC85111 activated carbon filter, and I’ve noticed a clear improvement in air quality inside the vehicle. It helps keep the cabin air fresh, especially during daily commutes and long drives.
The activated carbon layer does a good job of reducing dust, odors, and outside pollution, making the driving experience more comfortable. I also noticed less smell from traffic fumes and general road dust entering the car.
The fit was perfect for my Honda Pilot, and installation was simple without needing any special tools. It is compatible with several Honda and Acura models, which makes it a reliable replacement option.
The material feels well-made and sturdy enough for regular use, ensuring consistent airflow while filtering out impurities effectively. Considering its performance and durability, it also offers good value for money.
Overall, this is a practical, easy-to-install, and reliable cabin air filter that helps maintain cleaner and fresher air inside the car.

Good fit for our Honda Accord, quality filter
This was the perfect fit for my daughter's Honda Accord. It's a solid, budget‑friendly upgrade that fits perfectly. It only took a few minutes to install. The pleated material feels sturdy, and the activated carbon layer helps cut down on odors and everyday cabin dust.

No more funky smell!
Have had a funky smell for a while in my car. Air fresheners just couldn't quite cover it up.
I pulled the old filter out which was reallll caked up with stuff and got the new one in. Not only is the funky smell finally gone, but the HVAC is a lot quieter when on full blast, and it blows the air harder.
It fit great, installation was easy, and having the smell gone makes it worth absolutely every penny.
