It has not been an easy night. McJack says the weather was bad and only three of the four pilots got a chance to release their bombs. Even then, it took several passes to find the target. Back at their squadron, they study gun camera video of their attack. McJack believes they blew up three of the bunkers and took out a good portion of the tunnel structure and underground communications facilities at that site.
Pilots are often optimistic about what they hit.
It will take days to accurately assess how successful they really were during one of nearly 30 airstrikes attempted this night. ABC News Internet Ventures. Click here for Terms of Use and Privacy Policy applicable to this site.
