There was something IN that tunnel complex. Good intelligence. That APC hit was spectacular, looked to be at night.

Regarding that APC . . . Don't know if it's true but one of the networks (Fox or CNN) said this morning that those small bright dots flying in all directions after the strike are body parts (they show up real good on night vision).
To: Diogenesis
Good stuff. I particularly like the gimbal lock in the third clip.
To: LibWhacker
Look at the light spot moving away from the APC - it is human or animal moving in stright line. When the PC goes up it takes a couple of moments but the spot goes airborne in an arch - just like in the Movies!
I can hear Achmed now, "I hate when that happens!!!!"
To: Diogenesis
There was somethin' in that thar tunnel, fer sure. The third video made itchy and scratchy for a joystick again. I may have to ask Santa for one.
Thanks for another great post!
To: Diogenesis
love this bump list....keep those daily pics coming. Man that armored personell carrier sure blew. Must have been a secondary.As per other post? body parts? wow...way cool.Least we won't see these guys anymore in a 767 or anything else
To: LibWhacker
those small bright dots flying in all directions after the strike are body parts Maybe. However, the way that APC blew up (huge secondary) makes me think there was probably a lot of ammo or something on-board. Could be chunks of that, too.

Not likely. The video is infrared and the polarity shows hot things as white. The white dots are extremely bright and therefore, very hot. Body parts can't get too hot. More likely it is bomb fragments, or molten pieces of armor. On the brighter side, anyone in that APC never even knew what hit them, and any surviving fragments are so small they wouldn't even show up under a magnifying glass.
Incidently, the video is shot using a Litening II targeting pod used by Guard and Reserve F-16's.

Great to see Old Glory over Afghanistan.
Hey, guy in the last row of pics on the left: You be careful sticking your head in those places, dammit!

Look at the light spot moving away from the APC - it is human or animal moving in stright line.Saw the DOD briefing today. According to "Boomer" Stuffelbeam, those "light spots" are BODIES.
Another good day for America!

Damb those guys look like pack animals with all that stuff on their backs. A mountain bike loaded up would do better then walking.

The white spot moving down from the cursors is an aspect cue for the pilot telling him where his targeting pod is looking with respect to his jet. In this case the pod is looking at 6 o'clock meaning the jet is flying away from the target when the bomb impacts.
