Black Hawk Story

A couple more unfortunate events on Wednesday, I was surprised to see a Black Hawk being taken down by small arms fire. Apparently the fighter jet was hit by a surface to air missle. They were showing familiar footage of Iraqi's doing little dances around the wreckage of the plane waving their guns in the air.
