- 2001 U.S. Attack on Afghanistan
: Seven American
Special Operations Forces
soldiers are killed as they attempt to infiltrate the
Shahi Kot Valley
on a low-flying helicopter reconnaissance mission. Around
3 a.m.
local time a
Boeing CH-47 Chinook
helicopter was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, causing a soldier to fall out and damaging a hydraulic line. The helicopter made an emergency landing a half-mile away. A second helicopter on the mission picked up the first helicopter's crew and flew to where the crew member had fallen. The soldiers soon came under heavy fire, and six were killed. The remaining soldiers returned fire and retrieved the bodies before returning to base.

: Scientific papers for and against the observation of apparent
nuclear fusion
in imploding bubbles become available online. If this can be repeated, this is an important scientific breakthrough. Other
physicists
fear that this may be a repeat of the
cold fusion
fiasco.
