A-10 Friendly Fire Cockpit Tape

Fascinating cockpit tape from the A-10's that killed one British soldier and wounded another during the Iraq war. You can find part one here and part two here. One of the sad realities of war, although the pair do seem a little hasty in making their decision to attack and choose to interpret orange (allied) banners on top of the armored vehicles as orange rocket launchers, which seems to me to be a case of seeing what you want to see. Obviously it doesn't help that the Pentagon denied they had this stuff for a long time. Currently causing a media storm in Britain.
