Warrior on fire | Near Death

Warning: Upsetting content from the outset.
In September 2005, Karl Hinett was an 18-year-old infantry soldier serving with the British Army in Iraq. During a deployment to Basra, as part of an operation to rescue two SAS soldiers, his Warrior armoured vehicle was caught in a full-scale riot.
What happened next forced Karl to decide whether to live or die.

It was a really horrific seeing Karl bail out from his Warrior, a sight that will people will never forget. I am glad he survived the the incident and has has recovered. I wish him well for the future.

Very moving story and I recall clearly the TV recording of the incident. Incredible willpower and strength of mind and body to have recovered how he has. A gallant effort.
