Afghan girl killed in RAF leaflet drop - Polidicks

I'm just going to assume someone made a pun about her getting rated box

Wow, that's more Afghans killed with leaflets than with bullets...

I'm so sorry, but I can't help but laugh at the chances of this happening. It just happened to fall EXACTLY on her? What was she doing? Trying to header it? Poor lass.

[QUOTE]which include leaflets giving public information on the presidential elections and basic warnings about explosives and falling boxes filled with flyers[/QUOTE] fixed

the idea of being killed by a falling box of leaflets is funny as hell, but the fact it actually happened is sad. ..even though 99% of us are trying not to laugh

You didn't know her, and there's plenty of other Afghan girls out there. Why is everyone "Funny! ...but really sad"?

[QUOTE=SHoGuNN3R;17584309]Definitely deserves to be on Wikipedia's list of strange deaths.[/QUOTE] Can't be added unless we have a name.

I bet her Burka covered her peripheral vision.

I wonder if they sent the pamphlets in a [i]flat[/i]-rate box. Before it landed on her, she was having a [i]crate[/i] time.

oh man I lol'd.

[QUOTE=HARDCORERAPE;17591271]sad for the girls parents and whatnot[/QUOTE] Yes, for the parents, but why is everyone else acting [mildly] sad because of this? It effects them in no way what so ever.

I think she'll be the only and first person to be marked dead due to a falling package.

I guess she was [I]crushed by a falling box.[/I]

Talk about irony.

It's sad in retrospect, but very funny at the same time. If it hadn't of killed or crippled her, it would be pretty hilarious.

Ahahahahahahaha.

That's what people get when they shitpost around facepunch. Geddit? Box.

Looks like the information went straight to the head.

"Papercut!"

You see all the nice posts about how they never knew the girl was there, or that it was plainly a malfunction, all of which are true. Yet if it was the USAF, 2 things would have happened differently. 1. You would all insult America. 2. The box would have opened in the first place.

It would just be cruel irony if on the box was a warning label that said "Warning: Heavy". Also [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yjo1qkNtpz0[/media] But in all seriousness it is horrible.

Oh lordy, now we're going to have everyone in the Conservative party start bitching about how the RAF shouldn't drop boxes anymore because something like this might happen again and hwo they wouldn't let anything like this happen if they were in power. And knowing what most people think of Labour at the moment I'd not be surprised if people went along with it too :/

How unlucky can you get?

[QUOTE=verynicelady;17585374]This is so sad - it's inevitable that civilians get killed during wars but what a horrible waste of a life. I feel so sorry for her mother, and for every mother who loses a beloved child.[/QUOTE] You're old.
