Devastating Legacy of UXO: Laos still paying the price of the Vietnam war

[Pattaya One]

Welcome to Laos, a country with the unwanted claim to fame of being the most bombed nation per capita in the world. Between 1964 and 1973, the U.S. military dropped more than 2 million tons of explosive ordnance, including an estimated 260 million cluster munitions - also known as bombies in Laos.

To put this into perspective, this is more bombs than fell on Europe during the entire course of World War Two.
