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 [sic]. The total casualty count from this one strike was 48."
Go to www.allamericanrecycling.com I put it on our website (just for a little while.) Go to the bottom of the web page and hit the link that says "Don't bring a knife to a gunfight and the video will start."
Great job!
I can only hear it -- but it's the "ohhhh dude" video.
I am glad is not working....I can't stand violence
Hey guy!
When'd you get back into NC? Welcome! Maybe we can get together for a Freep sometime!
I've got that video on my machine as well as the one of the Apache taking out the roadside bombers. Neat videos.
Regards,

By the way, seen this video about a dozen times posted here at FR.
Seen it. Been around awhile.
I'd never seen this video before. Oh, dude! Big smiles, all around.
Thanks. Although your link didn't work, someone else's did, and I hadn't seen it before.
But where is the story that says this group was on their way to get at our troops that were pinned down? That's what I want to know...

Since the site like happens to be related to one of my hobbies, I'll take this chance to say that Clubcobra is a great site. If you are into 1965 Shelby cobras, replicas, kits, etc... I completed my kit last year.
Also check out www.ffcobra.com if you like these cars.
Wait a minute!
This can't be true.
Why Kerry just said that Bush has 'cut and run' from Fallujah when he called the President and PM Allawi LIARS!
I haven't seen it before. I'm kinda surprised that I have a big smile on my face. These are people getting killed. And yet, here I am, still smiling. I hate to get too deep here, but what does that say about me? That I think our boys' lives are more important than a bunch of insurgents?
Yeah, mebbe.
