Terrifying headcam footage shows Americans drop 500lb bomb on their OWN soldiers

500 Pound Bomb Dropped on U.S. Soldiers By Mistake
This video shows the shocking moment a 500lb bomb was dropped on US soldiers by mistake.

American troops were engagingTaliban forces in the Paktika province when an airstrike began.

Reports suggest the operation went drastically wrong and 'friendly fire' resulted in the quarter tonne bomb being unloaded on their own troops.

Amazingly there were no casualties in the incident, which was uploaded to YouTube on Tuesday.

An interview on the military veteran community Funker with the cameraman explains what happened.

The soldier said: "About a half second before impact you could hear the bomb screaming in like I hadn’t ever heard before, and I definitely knew at that point something was off.

"After the initial realization that it had hit behind us, we were so scatter brained trying to figure out what happened. It hit so close to the guys in the tower it actually knocked the fill out of radios."
