Some estimates held that over 80 percent of the structures in the city sustained damage or were destroyed. Out of a population of about 140,000, more than 116,000 people were homeless and 5,800 were either dead or missing. According to most reports, Hue was a devastated city.

Hue affected

Hue was affected badly enough that we said at the time: "We had to destroy the city in order to save it".
