Well as far as I know, the military never described the events that occurred in any kind of detail and they point blank refused to release the video despite FOI requests and despite there being no classified information contained in it. They clearly took pains to avoid people seeing what was really going on.


And besides, if this was a well-known event, then why the huge interest in it now? I mean, how much of the public actually reads accounts like the one you mentioned? Accessibility counts, both from the public's perspective and from those who have a vested interest in keeping things like this, if not secret, then at least out of the public consciousness.
