Default Another helicopter shot down yesterday

Quote:
BAGHDAD, Iraq - A U.S. helicopter was shot down and crashed north of Baghdad on Wednesday, the military said after initially stating that the chopper made a "hard landing." All aboard were safely evacuated by a second helicopter.

At least seven U.S. helicopters have crashed or been forced down under hostile fire since Jan. 20. Military officials have said that militants are increasingly targeting helicopters amid the buildup of U.S. troops in Baghdad, firing simultaneously with an assortment of weapons from different directions.
Anybody have the video for this? The "militants" are now filming their helicopter attacks so our administration can't lie. So the video should be somewhere...

todays technology allows us to monitor events by side stepping the government filter on information, this recent spat of helicoptor engagements is not surprising at all with the element of surprise you can have these kinds of small victorys when your resources are concentrated on a particular target. I only hope hope the next attack on a helicoptor ends like this one where everyone survived, as for the video i dunno

I doubt the videos will make it there. I did view other news stories though.
