Actually that is the shock wave from the outgoing tank round...... if you lay down in front of the tank or any large artillery piece the shockwave will burst your eardrums or worse...... We had a knucklehead that wanted to take a picture of a artillery piece as it fired.... needless to say he was in shock with both ears bleeding.....

If you can find a copy of the video (I only have a couple of screen captures), watch it closely. There are puffs of thick white smoke, puffs of thick black smoke, and pieces of something (concrete?) landing in the water. Maybe the shockwave knocked some concrete fragments from the bridge, but why the different colored smoke? CentCom claimed an RPG was launched at the tanks. I tend to believe them.
