Metal casings of cluster bombs re-used as an entrance decoration of the Lattanavongsa resort (Muang Ngoi Neua - Laos). From 1960 to 1970, the American airforce dropped 2,093,100 tons of bombs on Laos; the result of that was unexploded ordnance (UXO) which still kill long after the end of the Vietnam war. On impact, a cluster bomb - like those photographed - scattered 670 tennis ball-shaped bomblets over more than 5,000 square Enveloppes de bombes à fragmentation réutilisées pour la décoration de l'entrée de l'hôtel Lattanavongsa (bungalows). Muang Ngoi Neua - Laos. De 1960 à 1970, le Laos reçut tonnes de bombes de l'aviation Américaine et plus de quarante années après la fin de la guerre du Vietnam ces engins explosifs non désamorcés tuent encore. A l'impact, les bombes à fragmentation - comme celles photographiées - disséminaient 670 petites bombes de la taille de balles de tennis sur plus de mètres carré
