If I would have been given an impression of that it was a target misidentification, an accident, a misjudgement of the situation, i would not complain the way I do (we have had our German scandal just weeks ago too, the Kunduz bombing called in by a German Colonel). But I do not get the impression from that video. I rate it as intentional murder of civilians, not as a valid military intention, with the crews being aware that they were not shooting at combatants and that is what differs the act of murder from an act of war.

Sorry, but that's how that video reaches me.

I do not rate it as a fight that went wrong for any of the above mentioned reasons, but as murder. Thus my harsh conclusion.
