Linda Vista (Spanish for "Pretty View")[1] is a community in San Diego, California, United States.

[2] Many of the homes in Linda Vista were built in 1940-41 as part of a government project to house aircraft workers for the war effort.

Starting in the late 1970s, Vietnamese immigrants and refugees began resettling into Linda Vista after the Vietnam War and subsequently the Fall of Saigon.

The 57-ton tank easily plowed through road signs, traffic lights, utility poles, and fire hydrants, and crushed approximately forty parked vehicles, including an RV.

The damage to utility poles knocked out power to at least 5,100 San Diego Gas & Electric customers in the Linda Vista neighborhood.
