What the two incidents have in common - allegedly - is that they were carrying Special Forces and as one who has worked with "them" before I can vouch how easy it is to get carried away with their enthusiasm or as they would put it "mission focus"
They were so focused one dark night in Germany that they jettisoned my doors instead of opening them
That might be the background to the OP but the real reason of course is:
the cameras were there!
