The Sun said itz wot did it.
It never fails to amaze me how the conjecture and pure b*llocks that 'The Sun' often prints about events that happened on the other side of the world (did they even have a reporter in country at the time?) is considered gospel by other members of the press and society as a whole.
Yes of
course the Chinook set the mines off, its just the mixture of TMA-2, PROM 2 and god knows what else mines that surrounded the fence line under the approach to GV in Bosina (that still hadn't been cleared when I was out there last in '98) didn't go off under similar circumstances because they didn't feel like it.
Utter twaddle and bilge.
