A300 hit by SAM!

Some Iraqi terrorists shot an Airbus A300 transport with a MANP-ADS missile a few years back, and some jounalist "just happened to be in the area with a news camera" (i.e., he/she? was deliberately being the terrorist's propoganda tool). Fortunately, the big cargo jet survived the attack, and managed to land without any additional damage. There was no loss of life, either.
Way to go "rocket-boy", we're like, sooooooo scared!

Oops, sorry. It's been awhile since saw the report. (Ca. 3 years.)

Saw the pics of it. He ran off the runway after he landed. Too bad the video is sooo poor.

Guess someone needs to be invaded, their family killed, and then they start feeling 'patriotic', I thought that was all the US cared about, patriotism...

This plane was however Belgian, nothing to do with the 'new nazis', well, maybe bringing their mail, and the crew managed to land it on engines only, and being able to walk away from it, now that is something you should show respect for, not spreading your propaganda.
