javascript:surroundText('[img]', '[/im  Amazing anyone walked away from this. It did it's job!
 
This is one of the new "hardened" 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.
 
 Hope this works if not will try again.
