Plane Crash Kills 46 GIs in Viet Nam
A U.S. Army unit from the 1st Air Cavalry was among those en route to join offensives after the Lunar New Year truce. Viet Cong mortar and rocket attacks hit Da Nang Marine base, killing three Americans and two Vietnamese, with 14 Vietnamese wounded. Marines countered with 100 mm shells as helicopters hunted insurgents, while international diplomacy moved to reopen the Geneva Conference with Japan urging a regional effort.
