I was at Camp Liberty when that happened. It wasn't really 10 clicks north of Baghdad, more like 10 clicks north of the RUNWAY at BIAP, so the pictures are a little misleading - it was pretty close to urban areas. Never heard an official explanation, but the rumor was something along the lines of "uncommanded power loss after takeoff"... to which we all said "Well, no shit - I hope it wasn't a COMMANDED power loss." All the folks in the back walked away and I think they were on another flight out that night, if I recall.
And her response was?
Cheers
That's no crash - just a hard landing!
