Video - IED!!
There are scores of IED's going off every week in Iraq. This video taken from a Humvee while on patrol gives you a taste of what it's like...
It took me several viewings to take in the entire scenario. There's a civilian truck coming towards the bomb on the far side which appears to have been caught in the blast. The shrapnel spreads out and peppers the area out to nearly a hundred feet. The smoke and dust created blocks the sun. The reactions of the young men in the Humvee. There are even two Iraqi men that can be seen sitting on the roadside where the vehicles come to a stop outside of the blast area.
This is a 6meg download so if you've decided to view it please be patient. Thank you Michael Yon for placing this video on the web for people to view.
