DHL Emergency

[rbowen]

Anyone know what happened to DHL airbus a couple weeks ago. Saw on the news that they had an inflight emergency and had to make a off airport landing.
A friend sent me the pictures and it looked like someone blew half the wing off on the left side from the flap outboard.

yeah, that was the bus out of Baghdad that had a surface to air missile hit it. I thought it made it back to the airport safely though... I could be wrong.

This prompted all civilian flights out of there suspended permanently.

Pictures of the damage are available here:

Paris Match had embedded reporters with the terrorists. These reporters video taped the engagement. Pictures are coming out from this video.

The SAM operators had 2 SA-14s and one SA-7.

Go figure! I guess SOMEONE has to report on behalf of the scumbags.

My understanding was that those idiots filmed it themselves and dropped the tape off at a hotel in Baghdad for a french reporter. This reporter was wondering why she was selected to receive this tape (apparently it shocked her also that the bad guys knew who andwhere she was).
