Leaked army video about friendly fire and the power of internet

It is amazing to see the power of internet and videos. Yesterday there was an incident where two US A-10 jets mistakenly opened fire on british convoy in basra.

If this incident was to happen say a year ago, we would have come to known about it in one or two dailies thats all, we would not have the video footage or will not know about it within a day or so.

But the power of internet is amazing, as soon as this happened the video somehow got leaked and landed up in You Tube.

Only after a day it has been today there is 60,610 views in one day, can you believe it.

Here is the video,




I am sure within 2-5 days this video will be classified and removed from you tube.

So if you are lucky you can see it right now,

The entire incident is explained below,

The power of media has increased manifold due to the use of internet and sites like you tube, google video, metacafe have literally brought the world to our laptops.

Here is a small version of the chat between the pilots,

Pilot 1 said, "I'm going to be sick."

Pilot 2 said, "ah (bleeped)."

Pilot 1 said, "Did you hear?"

Pilot 2 said, "Yeah, this sucks."

Pilot 1 said, "We're in jail, dude."

Sorry to the families of the soldiers and amazed at the power of technology.
