| The fire is everything...  | "Eye witneses" reported that they saw a rocket, but we (Norway) had a reporter in the same area and he said the weather was really bad, and commercial flights didn't fly because of that... |

| Master Gunner | Helicopters are indispensible but they don't glide like an airplane. Yeah insurgents will claim somethin' alright. A hard day for 31 families from that crash and for 5 other families from loses elsewhere. My heart goes out to them.
