Some Marines were pinned down in a building in a Fallujah neighborhood.

Terrorists throughout the city heard about it and were rushing to the area

to try and take the Marines out. The Marines called in air support and the

first responders were Air Force F-16's. This video shows a group of

guerrilla's rounding a corner onto the street leading to the Marines. The

F-16's altitude appears in the upper right corner. In the lower right corner

is the countdown until the bombs impact. The crosshairs in the middle

indicate where the pilot is directing the laser spot to guide the bombs. The

number just to the right of the crosshairs is the length of one of the arms

of the crosshairs on the ground in meters. The bombs are two 500lb laser

guided bombs. Anyone standing unprotected within a quarter mile of their

impact is killed instantly. The total casualty count from this one strike

was 48.

Guys,

 

I did not have any of the problems you did. It just played. Man talk about having your ASS handed to you. Good thing is they never felt a thing. NOT!!!
