(NEXSTAR) — It is one of the most tragic stories from the final days of the Vietnam War. A cargo plane loaded with young Vietnamese orphans crashed in a rice field just outside Saigon 50 years ago. Jason Kayser was supposed to be on that plane—until he was pulled off moments before takeoff. It was a life-saving fresh start. Now, he’s returning the favor. Rise Coffee Studio in Ho Chi Minh City is not just about waking up to caffeine. It’s about second chances.

DENVER (KDVR) — This month marks 50 years since the fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam War. A Colorado man has a unique perspective on the war: he was held prisoner by the North Vietnamese for more than six years. “And we knew we were going to be beaten down. That was a given,” Orson Swindle, 88, of Morrison, told FOX31. Swindle was behind the controls of an F-8 Crusader on Nov. 11, 1966, on his last scheduled flight over Vietnam.

(NEXSTAR) — He was held as a prisoner of war in Vietnam for a staggering six years. An Air Force pilot who shared a bond—and a prison cell—with the late Sen. John McCain is now sharing his story, as the nation marks 50 years since the fall of Saigon. It was supposed to be his final scheduled flight over Vietnam. On Nov. 11, 1966, Orson Swindle was piloting an F-8 Crusader. He had already completed 205 missions when he was shot down and captured by the North Vietnamese.

(NEXSTAR) - On April 4, 1975, the first plane transport of Operation Babylift - the Vietnam War-era evacuation effort to bring Vietnamese orphans to adoptive parents - took off from Tan Son Nhut Airport before tragically crashing in a nearby marsh just 12 minutes later. A total of 78 children and 35 personnel were killed, but many babies, like Aryn Lockhart, survived the ordeal. But even though Lockhart ultimately made it to the U.S., there were still many things lost in the crash.
