• 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.
