Driving through an ambush in Iraq
There's a little bit of strong language, but should be safe for work.
http://ads.wnd.com/video/ambush.wmv Can you imagine going through stuff like this on a regular basis as a civilian contractor?

Re: Driving through an ambush in Iraq
Those were some pathetically weak mortars. From what I can see, there was almost no damage to the concrete. Looked more like a smoke-bomb really.

Re: Driving through an ambush in Iraq
could possibly have been hand grenades, they are quite common, and the blast radius and damage to the vehicle would be minimal if they were.
i think some kind of satche charge is more devistating and as you say a mortar would have torn up the road a bit... good driving though under fire he maintained the coverage of the black van and protected its flank at all costs.

Re: Driving through an ambush in Iraq
Wow. Those guys did one HELL of a job, as was posted earlier, the protected the flank at all cost. this goes to show that these men did their jobs and did them well, the first thing they did was cover the escorted vehicle. I feel safer at night knowing that there are men like this out in the streets all over the world helping to insure that freedom not only survives but thrives.
