00:00You can see the crater where the SUV blew itself up.
00:06There was a charred upper torso, like this, sticking out of the ground.
00:18There was no face.
00:19It was a hole where the face is supposed to be.
00:23The whole thing's charred.
00:30And the other Iraqis, there was another bus load full of their friends, the Iraqi National
00:35Guards that had just pulled up, and they were already starting to pick up the pieces.
00:39They pick up this torso, and they move it like this, and I just saw all kinds of red
00:45slush come out into the ground, and I'm like, oh, shit.
00:51And since it was cold outside, everything is just steaming.
00:54All the pieces are just steaming.
01:00Here we are picking up pieces of meat, Kevlar's helmets that were exploded this way.
01:06You had boots with feet still in it.
01:08You had gloves.
01:09You had parts, pieces, body, brain, guts, blood, everywhere.
01:16You had Iraqis crying, screaming, shooting their AKs in the sky.
01:22It was pure chaos.
01:24Iraqi National Guard pulling cars over, pulling civilians out and beating the shit out of
01:29them just because they were taking out their anger, and they just began just getting pieces
01:35and putting them in the back of a truck, getting pieces.
01:39There was not one complete person.
01:41There was not one full body.
01:44There was not that.
01:45It was just carnage.
