I'm not sold that it's the actual missle launch, but what do I know...

[mseltzer]

Are you sure the link is right? All I see is Paris Hilton.

Quite a video. What bothers me is that the setting is so casual. Like just a few guys setting off bottle rockets on a Saturday afternoon. Not what I think of as "war," with tanks, guns, and uniforms.

The trunk of the white car was open; that's how they brought their "bottle rockets" with them. Even room in the back for beer. Can we keep these SAMs out of the U.S.?

[Bikers4Bush]

Call me a sceptic but since the fuel is stored in the wings of aircraft if a missile hit the wing at 580 meters per second and exploded would it not cause a much large explosion than what it seems we're seeing?

Caught on tape . . . Footage taken from a videotape given to a French journalist
shows masked militants firing the missile that hit a DHL cargo jet over Baghdad
on November 22, setting its engine ablaze and forcing it to an emergency landing. The
six-minute-long footage shows a total of 10 militants, with their faces concealed by
chequered keffiyeh headresses or white scarves, carrying out the attack from scrubland
south of the capital. Composite photo: AFP

[OXENinFLA]

WOW, indeed

[mikegi]

It then shows the actual missile launch, or what appears to be several launches. It also shows the "hit", under the left side wing of the aircraft.

I see the launch(es) but I never see the missile hit the DHK jet. There's a cut between SAM launch and the video of the jet on fire. Did someone whip out their video editor and splice together two unrelated tapes???

Reminds me of this movie (a French film, by the way):

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00006FMCS/qid=1069773158/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/002-8081474-7637628?v=glance&s=dvd&n=507846

Quote from Amazon.com:
This Belgian satire (in French with English subtitles) is dark, dark, dark--but also right on the money in its sly sendup of the media's fascination with violence and its complicity therein. This mock documentary has a trio of filmmakers shooting a cinéma vérité feature about a garrulous serial killer who lets the film crew follow him around as he selects victims and then dispatches them. But at what point does filmmaking become participation? These hapless documentarians soon find out as their subject eventually pulls them into his world, including a gun battle with a rival film crew and their own criminal star. Gruesomely hilarious, with a deadpan wit that's hard to resist. --

French Journalist getting this from the terrorist....hmmm....collaboration????....hmmm....sounds a little bit on the vichy side to me.

[The Mayor]

[longfellow]

Images of the damaged A300 Airbus after making it's emergency landing.

[HAL9000]

ParisMatch.com has published photos taken with the terrorists as they fired the missile and hit the plane.

The site is diffficult to visit. It's in French, and it's 100% Flash movie format.

The title of the article is "IRAK EXCLUSIF: ILS TIRENT AU MISSILE SUR L'AIRBUS - Notre reporter était avec le commando que a touché l'avion-cargo" (roughly translated - IRAQ EXCLUSIVE: THEY FIRE A MISSILE AT THE AIRBUS - Our reporter was with the commandos who hit the cargo aircraft)
