Hey, I have a friend that is really into military stuff. He sent me a copy of this Windows movie file of a helicopter taking out three Iraqis. According to the text in the message, it was later confirmed that these guys were indeed planting an ambush device intended for an American troups caravan that was coming down this road not far behind.
I'm not much on death and distruction, but I liked listening to the process. If you listen to the audio, you can hear the pilot and gunner talking, getting clearance, making decisions, and finally taking care of business. The little weapon they use to end it is pretty cool too.
So, if you think you would like to see this, click the link. The video is infrared so it's not in full gore, but be fully warned if you are sensitive about this kind of thing, I suggest not watching it.
(This will only stay on my server while this thread is active here, so don't link to this video in other forums etc, or you will end up with broken links.)
Hey WG, can you keep that up there for atleast the next 24 hours, I'd like to watch it again with sound. I just checked it out without sound right now.
Looks like we caught em by surprise, they're just walking around, smoking their cigarettes, planting a bomb, and boom!
Al Jazeera should show this footage, give em something to think about when they're creeping around at night.
Yeah, it gets me with mixed feelings too. First, the tech-guy in me thinks "this is really cool" as I listen to the radio transmissions and watch how the weapon works. Then, the human-guy thinks "wow, I just watched three people die".
