@bcw324 indeed, you can definently hear the second mayday call is alot more "serious".. But yet he sounds in control, wich is the most important thing. Ofcourse there is the shock effect, but it takes a certain.. I dont wanna call it character, cus that is something you build. Where as i believe reacting like this in theese situation, is a "skill" you are born with.. We need both humans who can stand up and "fight the lion".. And some to run, incase it goes wrong then we can start over ..

@TheStreeser1 I will tell you why we are out there its because you can't fight terorist in the normal way because they hide like rats using inocents to hide behind women and children so we had to find a battle ground and this is the perfect way to do it every extreamist from around the world heads out there to fight .and they get their fight only they get to fight trained troops istead of the people we love at home .its clever stuff realy . better out there than here .
