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!
Airpower! Ooorah!
Headline needs some major editing - it says the exact opposite of what the video depicts. ;)

If you have not read it already, I strongly recommend reading "Stuka Pilot" by Hans Ulrich Rudel. [MAJOR DISCLAIMER, ESPECIALLY TO DU AND OTHER HOSTILE LURKERS: I abhor Nazism and all other forms of procrustean belief and polity. The good thing about this book is that it is a very apolitical account of the life of one guy on the front line during WW2. There is much to learn in it.]
Oh, Dude!
I mean fix this:

This video hit made a round on the internet about 3 or 4 months ago. I haven't checked the link but if it's the same one, note the bodies sailing through the air in the lower left corner. It appears one is landing on a rooftop.
Link doesn't work on netscape.

Hey, either your link's not working, or its overloaded cause you put it on FR!
And you may want to ask the admin moderator to fix your title. I know what you mean, but its worded awkwardly.
