Sky Chief to Icarus: Friendly Fire ... Dudes!

See Moment Brits Were Hit By Friendly Fire
Shocking 15-minute video shows
view from cockpit when US pilots hit British forces in Iraq. Warning: contains
bad language

[This link (above) may not be correct for the video ... yet... but do your own google -- I got there via the Australain Newspapaer front page 07-0207. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/]

=====================================

Killing Lance Corporal Matty Hull... and many 10s of thousands of others ...!

Quite a good audit (and visual if your PC works!) 'insight' into the cock pit world of of jock straps killing groundlings ... only this time it is some UK 'allies'.

Brings back memories of the documenatary on US piliots flying high on anphetamines in Afghanistan and being a clear and present danger to everyone!

These guys don't sound too wacked-out but who knows what 'phamacutical' rocket fuel they fly on now.

They might end with a "we're fucked ..." but not as much as the poor twits down on the ground who painted their tank orange to confuse the enemy... with sky-cowboys like this lot -- who needs enemies.

Of course there is also the obvious implied lack of concern for the little brown people who are defending their country with the equivalent of 'bows and arrows' -- and where have we seen that wild-west story before?

It's 15:44/010:40 and "I'm going to be sick!" ... says the voice of one lonely dude who has flown just a bit too high: Icarus falls at the end of tape.

The breathing gets me ... one can hear the reality of the whole God-dammed mess at high-tech speed.

End of tape...

postscript: but someone has put a alternate view of interest.
