Bummer. Play with fire....
Grew up near there. Big open desert with a giant restricted area. Beautiful arid landscape and some amazing history.

Why do you ridicule the death of a USAF contractor and the injury of a USAF serviceman in a tragic incident while serving us?
I find this post to be in very poor taste.

Incredibly rude and a violation of copyright. Not to mention unnecessary to post the large version of the image...bandwidth.Shet happens.

I didn't see the post before you deleted it, but I did where murphey quoted it in his post. I can't imagine there being any "right way" to take that. At least you deleted it.
One dead and one injured -- very sad indeed.

Everybody has different taste and different sense of humor (and some have none).
Accidents happen. Incidents happen too but are far less surprising.
Live munition training is always dangerous. Sheet happens and sometimes there are casualties. Training is not always 100% safe and sometimes humans get hurt.
I expect some heads will roll after the investigation is finished.

I know both of the dudes on the ground. Chuck was a great JTAC before he retired and was still giving back to the community in a contract position.
Even though many of the risks inherent to Night Close Air Support missions with live weapons can be mitigated fairly well, there are still a lot of factors at play.
It will be interesting to read the final report.

If you think there is anything even remotely close to being funny involved with this, you don't know enough about this job to even intelligently comment. This is equally tragic for both men, and their families.
