Re: Fire and Chaos (4.00 / 3)

Finally found some photos of the carnage here.

Here the rescue crew describes the "munitions" exploding during the rescue action.

I'm really shook, i'll stop now.

Re: Fire and Chaos (none / 0)

Thanks for this. This was at the time I was in Germany. Remscheid, Ramstein, Tiefflug... those words (and the associated images) remained.

Re: Fire and Chaos (none / 1)

Apparently the 20th anniversary was all over German media yesterday, with much TV coverage. Here's Der Spiegel version (German, but with a photo of my friend.)

I feel better having spoken with her this AM.

Re: Fire and Chaos (none / 0)

I note that in the first few photo captions and in the article, SPIEGEL writes about an Absturz = crash-down. But this plane didn't fall out of the sky, it flew too close to the ground! At least the low-level flight exercise controversy is discussed in the article, too.
