Re: [Update] UN mandates military intervention in Libya
Could've been lucky small arms fire, .50 cal through the engine will produce a flash just as was seen in the BBC vid (but not a shock wave as from an air to air missile when it explodes). Any round through the tubine housing will cause the engine to instantaneously self destruct, usually accompanying a large flash and fire.
From the BBC footage its near impossible to discern whether there's a shock wave from the flash because of the narrative.
