I just got a briefing on that crash two days ago and was shown that video. That didn't take long to get leaked. Some contractor or soldier is going to lose a job over this one and I'm not talking about the pilots.

I agree, don't do dumb things, but I'm referring to people leaking FOUO or similar. |

If you step it frame by frame, he ducks just quick enough to miss the rear elevator by maybe a few inches, what you can see flying just after the impact is either the the rear rotor or the box that was just beside him ETA: Beat 'cause of my slow ass connection |

In searching for any news articles on crashed Apache's in Sharana, Afg., here's my best guess: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aviation_accidents_and_incidents_in_the_War_in_Afghanistan Feb 6th, '12 Are details on crashes like this normally not for circulation? What makes this video clip sensitive, distribution-wise? |

Right at the moment of impact, one guy gets to within 5 feet of instant death and throws himself to the ground to save himself.
EDIT: I see this has been covered. Still, I'll bet he has an AMAZING story to tell. |
