This Washington Post article by Ishaan Tharoor published on February 16,
2015, looks back at the U.S. military's use of "barrel bombs" in Vietnam,
as context for the continuing coverage of allegations that the Syrian
government has used barrel bombs on the country's civilian population.

The digital graphic embedded in the article, created by Mother Jones
magazine, is a map of Laos which displays in rapid sequence the
chronological impact of U.S. bombing campaigns from 1965 to 1973.  It has
been circulated to the Landmines Working Group before.  The visual impact
is quite powerful.

I wonder what it would take to create such a map of the bombing history in
Vietnam?
