War footage, Apache helicopter destroys rocket launcher. Uncensored. (5MB mpg)

Slightly disturbing.....be warned.

As originally posted on comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.flight-sim by Whistler on 2004-01-15
ABC's Martha Raddatz snared exclusive access to night-vision gun-camera videotape from an Apache helicopter of three men in a field north of Baghdad last December. We saw one of them drop an object in a field that the crew assumed was a weapon. In response the helicopter unleashed 100 30mm cannon rounds killing two and wounding the third. As the wounded man crawled away, the crew was ordered to kill him too: The army acknowledges that the cannons used were far bigger than needed, reported Raddatz, but it is the smallest weapon Apaches have.

actually, the gun cam is infrared, which is why the guys kinda glow, then it becomes harder to see the bodies when their pumped full of hot lead, with hot lead all around them. Come to think about it, it might not have been lead they were pumped full of.......

Yea they got oned... Right after the first fe shots were fire and the apache helicopter missed them they were probably thinking that they were out of range

... Thats gotta suck. And I think its Infared as well and not night vision - wouldnt it be clearer if it was nv?

welcome to the 21st century.

nothing cool about it nothing shocking about it.

just so sad that we as humans are forced to, for whatever reasons, to kill each other. another day another century nothing changes just the method.
