    Agreed. It was his lucky day. As hydro_guy points out, the craziness is that it was set off by his own people. That is pathetic.

  • holy ****... i wasn't expecting that at all.

    I also wasn't expecting him to be alive. Once again demonstrates that the muj are not fighting for iraq... they are fighting against iraq.

  • What makes you people feel so sure he wasn't the trigger-man?

    It is too obvious the way he was walking with his hands open and it just doesn't make sense.

    Probably some guy either looking out the balcony peeping through a crack right next to it.
    I don't know the proximity those cell phones can be set off from or whatever way they use to detonate it.

    How are you so sure that man isn't bleeding? the human body can take a beating too, he probably got lucky as well

  • In my opinion he didn't "escape". I bet he can't hear and might have a concussion, but he is alive.

    Pathetic insurgents.

  • See how he feels tomorrow, most likely in shock from the blast and his adrenaline is the only thing that kept him moving. What kind of brain damage you think he'll take home to his family?

    That guy is ****ed, thanks "freedom fighters" not only did you target a V-hull and fail, but you destroyed another Iraqi civilian's life.

    Bravo, you won another heart and mind.

    Walking with his hands open? What are you talking about? Do you mean after the explosion?

    He was standing perfectly still directly in front of the bomb. His hands are at his sides. A split-second before the bomb goes off he brings his left hand up to his chest. Which happens to be at the exact moment one of the vehicles comes up along side him.

    So he walks away after it happens but maybe he was simply amazed to be alive. Or he is dazed from the concussion.

    Your absolutly right ! They dont care about no one but themselves! That was someones father/brother its just not right. Unfortunately he might have died later from lung tissue damage from the displacement of air but hopefully not . Looks like a 50/50 with an explosive of that magnitude. poor guy my heart goes out to him.
