Skipper Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 OOOOOps, wrong forum. Matt, sorry. 22 October 2001, Afghanis stand next to an alleged downed US helicopter near Kandahar, Afghanistan. The Taliban militia said 22 October they had found the wreckage of two US military helicopters with traces of blood and reported fighting with other US forces who came on a rescue mission [ 10-22-2001: Message edited by: Skipper ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyrene Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 This will probably get moved to the General Forum, but until it does I'd like to make a comment or two about the picture. If those are indeed wheel assemblies from an American helicopter then they could only be from a H47 or H53, they are too big for anything else. (MH47 & MH53, in this case). They could also be from bombed out Taliban aircraft, I've been to several crash sites, and I can tell you that if those wheel assemblies are in that good of a shape, then there are other, bigger and more recognizable helicopter parts to be dragged in front of the camera. Well see. Gyrene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 This weekend I'll gather up a dozen of my friends, dress up in old military uniforms, then go down to the junk yard and take a picture standing next to an old, beat-up truck. I'll then e-mail it to the guys at Al-Jazeera with the caption: "US SF ambush Taliban supply convoy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
