LAV Fire
We had a pretty bad accident with an LAV-M during a live fire exercise
with 4th ANGLICO in 2001 and the video of the incident just hit the
internet. Thought you'd like to see it. Basically what
happened was about 300 charge rings that had been broken off from
previous fire missions were ignited inside the LAV by falling ash with
the crew still in there. I'm sure you can read the article on the
website. My friend Mike was on the gun crew, and he got burned
over 65% of his body, with half of that 3rd degree. It was touch
and go for a while, but he's recovered and is pending a medical board to
return to duty (he doesn't want to medically retire). In this
video you can hear some 81mm HE rounds low-order detonate, and the end
of the video is him screaming. The Marine that you see on fire is
actually someone else who only had superficial burns.

Angel Decoys
This is a video clip of an Air Force
C-130 releasing flares to repel heat seeking missiles. The pattern
formed by these "angel decoys" are how they got their
name...It's truly awesome! Because maneuvers were usually in remote
areas and probably over water, the general public does not get to see
these exercises.

These Apache drivers engage some Iraqi troops with what sounds like 7.62
