@ncal08

Who is this? I cannot believe you uploaded the videos 3rd group gave out onto youtube. Do you realize how fucking dumb that is? You need to either delete those or censor out their faces.

Yea it was a big portion of the mine rollers off the front of the truck. I had seen hood's fly 100 feet in the air and tires blow 100 yds out to the sides until this day topped that by far lol. I think the scariest thing about this day was the moments after the blast. When there was no comms from the first vehicle. After seeing such a blast I thought I lost 5 friends. I thank god everybody made it out alright.

Sorry to hear about your cousin. Respect for all the fallen sappers. This is my 2nd account now, I'm not sure what happened but I can no longer log into "AtWarWithGod" By the way when I said "Cool" it was in reference to Chucho1904's comment about working on our trucks not the job I conducted on a daily basis. That's probably the last word I would use to describe it.

@loffytoffy1 That must have been one hell of a bomb to launch that piece that high and that far. lucky no one was hurt.

[loffytoffy1]

@ihazZOMBIES it might have been the other side of the wheel column that is laying in front of the hole
