This is not Munndane, but It doesn’t seem to fit anywhere else.

Blood on the camera lens, constant buzz of the car alarm, worried injured voices, camera falling to the ground.

Has anyone on American TV seen this footage from the BBC camera crew?  
I think I should put this in the pit as I am getting fed up with the volume of ‘friendly’ fire. But I don’t want it to _be_ a pit rant.

(‘friendly’ being a somewhat inappropriate term IMO)

Here is a [link](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/2921807.stm), which doesn’t come close to the drama of the TV news version. I haven’t read the article yet (shame on me).

And ‘Has anyone on American TV seen’ should read ‘Has American TV News shown’
