A U.S. soldier pulls an injured comrade away from a burning tank in Falluja, Iraq (news - web sites) April 8, 2004. U.S. troops fought Sunni and Shi'ite rebels in Falluja and Kerbala on Thursday as hospital officials reported hundreds of casualties in the heaviest fighting since Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s fall a year ago.

3. That guy is alive.

I saw that footage on CNN and they said that everyone in the tank walked away. Take that for what you will, but I did see the other members of the crew climbing out by themselves. I think that guy is just helping his mate get out of the tank ASAP.

4. Yeah looks like everyone in that tank lived.

I too saw it on CNN. I'm not sure what hit the tank though.

It looked like the side was on fire and the guys that came out were a bit bloodied and maybe burned.

I'm wondering if it was another of those "magical" new RPGs, but the way the one guy dosed the fire out on the side of the tank with a bottle of water makes me think that it was probably just a molatov cocktail that got thrown at it and maybe some of it got inside.

5. CNN said it was an RPG

although your Molotov comment sounds equally plausible.
