Can anyone find more information about the friendly fire incident cited in the article? I found a scan of a newspaper printing: https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1876&dat=20020324&id=80AfAAAAIBAJ&sjid=atAEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5261,3177516&hl=en https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1876&dat=20020324&id=...
I did not find anything in the official Washington Post archive: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-adv/archives/front.htm http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-adv/archives/front.htm
This search shows other articles by that author on the Washington Post site during that time, but not this specific one: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22vernon+loeb%22+%22kandahar%22+%22gps%22 https://www.google.com/search?q=%22vernon+loeb%22+%22kandaha...
- yoav_hollander 11y agoThe archived Washington Post article is still here: https://web.archive.org/web/20130624110018/http:/www.gpsnavigatormagazine.com/gps-blamed-in-deadly-fire-event.html https://web.archive.org/web/20130624110018/http:/www.gpsnavi...
- ers35 11y agoI wonder why that article does not appear in the official Washington Post archive. I am interested in a better source than a third party site.
- halefx 11y agoThis is especially confusing because "GPS Navigator Magazine" has the wrong date on the article. It looks like this happened in December 2001 and the speculation of it being caused by the battery change was released in March 2002. Christian Science Monitor [1] reported on it in December when the cause was unknown. This PDF [2] has some more information on the Washington Post article. 1: http://www.csmonitor.com/2001/1207/p2s1-usmi.html http://www.csmonitor.com/2001/1207/p2s1-usmi.html 2: http://wwwhomes.uni-bielefeld.de/cgoeker/SysSafe/WiSe%2011-12/Cases/GpsFriendlyFireAfghanistan.pdf http://wwwhomes.uni-bielefeld.de/cgoeker/SysSafe/WiSe%2011-1...
