Helicopter carrying aid reaches Mount Sinjar - LoneWolf Sager
Published on Aug 9, 2014
A glimpse of desperate plight of Yazidis trapped on the mountaintop, besieged by extremists from the Islamic State in Iraq. Kurdish forces and a human rights organization distributed food and water to those in need on Friday.
- LoneWolf & The Three Muskadoggies "Please.... Remember Our Homeless, Hospitalized & Disabled Veterans & Fallen Heroes! Thank You....America!"
Note:
Shows helicopter finding mountain, seems to be firing against ISIS to get there, dropping off aid.
And then, without the load, taking on passengers to escape. They are in shock, terrified, crying. It made me cry, there's a lot of grief in the world today.
It will take time to get this done. American airpower can do this but it will be dangerous. This is the area the Kurds had to flee from ISIS, where the Iraqis were unable to get through with trucks past ISIS forces.
So here it is. Will post more as I find it.
