Default RE: C-5 Hit By a SAM

All they reported was that it was by ground fire after taking off and climbing 6000' and an outboard engine had to be shut down due high vibration, well DUH I guess so. It made a safe landing at baghdad airport. a witness on the ground said he heard the whoosh of a rocket and then what looked like a meteorite streaking towards the plane and then it was hit.
