Out of curiosity how did you link to todays news story on 3-13 ?
I was searching to see if anyone had posted about the helo crash in Iraq and turned up this thread.

Man, is it just me, or does Blackwater seem to have a black cloud over their collective heads?
I guess it's because they're out there amongst 'em, but they seem to have taken more than their share of casualties.
RIP, gents.. may your sacrifices not be in vain.

Evidentally there is a video circulating with the footage of what happened.
Looks like there was 1 survivor, a Bulgarian, with broken legs. The article explains what happened to him.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/mid...st/4472199.stm
Quote:
The cameraman focuses on two bodies. One appears to be dead and is badly charred.
The second person, wearing a blue flight suit, is alive but badly hurt.
The cameraman orders him to stand up, but the survivor says he has a broken leg and asks for help.
The militants appear to help him up, and tell him to run away.
Then they shoot him at point blank range and he collapses.
They continue to shoot the body, shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is Great).

Yesterday they were reporting it was a missle and today they are now saying heat seeking missle. I saw a still frame showing the flaming helo going down so I suppose that would support that?
For those of you NOT on BP meds there are some lovely threads by patriotic Americans over at the Democratic Underground.

I laughed but it's true. Cric, you just made the "best quotes of 2005" section.
