First appeared here a while ago, and very quickly disappeared as well

The definition of investigative journalism - someone who sits and watches youtube all day.

Wasn't it removed last time round because the video clip was the best bit of BDA of the incident the insurgents could've hoped for?

I expect the journo at the time was getting his H.E. a bit confused.

Maybe the journalist involved has got mixed up with the C130 "bombing" antics from the Falklands conflict, or maybe he spoke to someone from the beeb, and decided that C130 bomber was more attention grabbing than the usual C130 Chinook.:E
