I got some more info on the rollover.According to the reporter the road was washed out bad it sounds as if the Stryker went end over end instead of over. Paul saw the Stryker go end up and he told his guys to prepare for rollover. The reason the Stryker was locked was they had the back door locked for travel up from Kuwait, to prevent lose of eqippment. the Commander of the Stryker forgot to unlock his,they said that was not the reason for deaths. that figures. Also the stryker holds nine guys they said they had eighteen soldiers in two Strykers. Command Sgt Maj.Jeffrey Du Said "We were lucky, Because it could of been a lot worse" I didn't know they had that many men in the vehicles..A team from Rucker is investigating..They still haven't got to all the families yet, one is away from Lewis and the Red Cross is tring to locate.. I will find out the grade they can substain before rollover.. Later Paul ::f
