500 Pound Bomb Dropped on U.S. Soldiers By Mistake From the guys filming in theatre at Funker350

Holy shit :shock:
Friendly fire, isn't
If the 1st Sgt hadn't stood the men to, there would have been guys in that wood structure
And if that had been a thousand pounder, or worse...

Finger error? Took own position instead of enemy coords? Won't know for a while. But now, buy lotto tickets and thank your 1st Sgt for doing his job

Before the invention of gunpowder, was it called Friendly Stab?

I'm actually kind of surprised at how minimal the damage is......you'd think 500lbs of high explosive would've taken off the whole top of that hill. Don't get me wrong I'm glad for those guys sakes it didn't but still morbidly interesting.

The brief 2nd camera angle view looks worse; but there only is 197 lbs of actual explosives in a 500 lb bomb. The solid rock in the area may also have been a factor
