Yep, I saw it...and the guys who were injured too. Nice shot of the radiator on top of the ridge.

I saw it. I believe 3 of those dudes were hurt, but because of the armor on the Hummer, they all survived. Are the hummers assigned to SF more armored than the usual humv.

If it's the video I submitted it was a HUGE IED. They estimated 40lbs. It tore the entire front off of that armored Hummer and threw the radiator a couple of hundred feet. The second one that you actually see in the video is the charge that was supposed to set of the other 40 pounder, thank God it didn't work!

Thanks whisper.

Yes, he was ok, I was on an aircraft with him as he went out. Just a light concussion and some battle scars. One of my team mates was in the back seat, he's pulling security by the back bumber in the video. He didn't get hurt at all except ringing ears. If the second IED would have worked it would have been the deadliest day in Afghansitan.
