Which reminded me of Bart's "I'm sorry" to the Australian Parliament and then the eventual flight from the American Embassy, w/ allusions to Saigon of 1975. I was thinking about the profile shot of people climbing the stairs to the helicopter and decided to go looking for it on YouTube. I found some powerful videos from Marine embassy guards and a CIA agent about the last days:
