Yesterday, a helicopter crashed some 250 miles south of Hanoi in Vietnam, killing 7 Americans and 9 Vietnamese on board. All the Americans are said to have been involved in the U.S. military's program to recover Americans missing in action from the Vietnam War. NPR's Emily Harris reports on the scope of the Joint Task Force operation, titled Full Accounting.
