    Yeah... just looking at the rotor blades during the rebound makes me think "how the hell didn't those chop people up?!"

    Maybe there WAS a huge death toll, and nobody's saying anything? Also, I find it very interesting that the guy in the foreground towards the end of the clip was running AWAY from the scene, instead of TOWARD it to help out.

    Maybe he was running to get a first aid kit? I know that we weren't allowed to go anywhere farther than the bathroom without our weapons
    Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

    Abusing Yellow is meant to be a labor of love, not something you sell to the highest bidder.

    We don't know why the man was running away. Maybe self preservation or to get more equipment/help.

    I hope its true that there were no injuries/death - that is a lucky break - more than could have been hoped for. I still think the pilot needs to be relieved of duty.

    The military couldn't keep a secret like that if they wanted to.
