i really can t talk about it. it s still classified but it s a tool that slows down a vehicle so it doesn t crash. so his vehicle hits the device, it earlily comes from high-rate of speed to zero just like that. it s phenomenal. it s phenomenal. the operators come out of their hiding places. we collapse on the car as quickly as we can. we break open the window, cut the seat belt, grab kristic right out of the car. the driver defecated himself. they don t even know what s happening. violence of action. the helicopter now flies in on command. just think how precise that is. as we started to move kristic to the helicopter, he had a prosthetic leg and that leg fell off and one of the operators had to pick it up as we carried him to the helicopter to evacuate. the capture of kristic was very, very short.
abort or not abort and the operators on the ground are making that decision. let s continue to assess the situation. as a commander, i m saying he s 25 minutes out, he s 20 minutes out so we have to make a decision. what are we going to do? lucky for us because there is luck involved in niece these operations, all of those criteria moved out of the zone and he crossed and the zone was clear. there is a final confirmation that says kristic is in that vehicle. there it goes. get ready. that ambush site is just down the road maybe 30 seconds away. kristic s vehicle is moving at a high rate of speed as it makes the turn into the zone, the car hits the trigger line which is our key to trigger the capture devices to stop the car. and we had special kit that we had devised to slow the vehicle down without snapping everyone s neck in the vehicle. what was it?
between serbia and the republic that was territory inside the country of bosnia given to the serbs in the dayton. within the republican, we knew kristic would go from one location to another location during the day. he was in a vehicle and he had a driver. just those two guys, single vehicle, not a convey, no protection. so we knew that we would need special operations forces to stop a vehicle, probably going 75 miles an hour, not kill everybody inside, capture kristic, stick him in a helicopter and take him back. the special operators are incredibly gifted, creative folks who understood the mission set. had been given a task, determined how that vehicle was going to slow down in a very short distance. how did they do that? well, i can t tell you how they did that. i m just not at liberty to talk about it but special operators
band. if he wins it s going to be because marsha blackburn has aligned herself so closely with president trump. he came here three times again, extraordinary, three visits for marsha blackburn in a state that he won by 26 points. just to give you an idea of how much interest there is in this race and how unusual it is, the state election board has spent weeks as we watch phil bredesen leaving here, has spent weeks beefing up its website so it doesn t crash. if we have time, i d like for you as we follow him out to listen to what a couple of vo vote voters told us this morning as we talked to them about what their vote is for. take a listen. some people have called this the nastiest race in the country. i get fliers, multiple fliers every day from both sides, but more from the republican side. and that turned you off? absolutely. i have great concerns about the other candidate.
this, obviously, is what s left of that plane. ten people onboard. six of them survived, but they were all hurt. we re told people who live nearby had to wait out bad weather finally reaching this crash. some two hours after the plane went down. no immediate word on what caused it, the ntsb is investigating. and in scotland, they re mourning those who died in a helicopter accident. this was happening last night as we went to air right about this time. eight people were killed when a police chopper crashed into a pub. this is glasgow. there was a live concert going on, more than 20 others were injured. the crash shocked, saddened all of scotland which is also observing st. andrews day, a national holiday meant to celebrate scotland s heritage and culture. we pray for those who have tragically lost their lives in this incident. those who are injured, those who are bereaved.
