Vinh Moc was a village right in the middle between the north/south border. In order to avoid northern Vietnam troups to be provided with facilities, the Americans started to heavily bomb it. The locals eventually build a complex of tunnels underground, reaching 30 meters deep, where they were able to live for 6 years.
