Israeli Airstrike Leaves Reuters Ambulance in Flames, Chopped, Channeled

It must be true, Iowahwk wrote it:

According to Reuters spokesman Martin Aldwyn, the vehicle was used by the agency's local freelancers to transport poignant war-ravaged street urchins to Lebanese hospitals. Although clearly marked with a red cross, "PRESS," fuzzy dice, and the international symbol for "Baby On Board," the flaming 1950 Mercury was left nearly unrecognizable by the attack. Photos show that the impact of the Israeli missiles slammed the vehicle to the ground, lowered its roof five inches, and left it with a pancaked hood, shaved door handles, frenched headlights and De Soto grille.
Ha!

1 From what I've heard from my buddies who went to Iraq, 500 people in a mercury would be SOP for the middle east. They'd also have a few goats, a flock of chickens, an ox, and a sofa tied to the roof.
