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....... _________________ Under construction!!! |

What does ABC expect the crew to do, land the heliocopter and get out to fight the guys. Give me a break. Its like that crazy talk of "if somebody breaks into your house and has a knife. Then using a gun to defend yourself is unfair." |

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? |

I would imagine this was at night. So they probably couldn't see the Apache. Probably heard it, but not see it. |
