Title: Soldiers survived

UNCLASSIFIED
  • Soldiers survived!!
  • This is one of the new "hardened" MRAP vehicles
    that was hit by a 500 lb bomb (IED). The vehicle
    was totally destroyed, but EVERYONE IN THE
    VEHICLE WALKED AWAY.
  • Note the unusual construction of the bottom of
    the hardened Pathfinder APC. Note the bottom
    looks like the hull of a ship. The blast picked
    up the truck and turned it around! The driver
    got some broken ribs (see the photo of the
    steering wheel), but that's it. Everyone walked
    away from a 500 lb explosion directly beneath
    their vehicle.
