Title: Moment of Impact
Post by: Con on September 08, 2012, 09:04:05 PM
A journalist captured the moment that Syrian Rebels were fired upon by a tank.

It is like something out of a Hollywood film.  I normally see these impact as not being as dramatic (films always need to have large colorful explosions while the reality is much more lethal without the special effects).  I am amazed that someone even survived when you see how the blast engulfed the fighters.  A telling moment of the horrors of war with modern weapons
