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.

could be..... It is kinda hard to tell with the low resolution we are viewing..... I believe them. You can see the sandbag position right behind them on top of the building.... RPGs usually just piss tankers off..... the only two areas to worry about are 1) the turrent hull interface it isn't bolted on - it just uses gravity(bearings and electrical contacts) and 2)the engine compartment from the rear.... Treads are soft too but you have hit from the front or rear......I guess we will have to wait for the media mini-series from the imbeds..... I'm sure the networks will be putting something together... and soon after the History Channel.....
