First up today we are hitching arrival with US military convoy,as it makes it's way out of Iraq.The one point is more than 150.000 US troops serving in the middleast nation,But at the end of this month,there will less than 200.Martin Savage discovered that for the 1/2 were leaving,the journey out of Iraq could be the most dangerous one they make there.

2:30 AM,at the convoy comes alive in the dark bitter cold,despite the time and the temperature they soldiers at the 82nd airboard are already good move,The trip will mean their war is almost over.

The trip is taken 6 weeks to prepare,mainly because of the security,Convoy is attempting targets specially for IED, Counter them the US military beginning using unrise manuel system unbush protected vehicles.Stycle month between serival towns,down that target.Let's go,get in the truck.

Looking likes mills blows,trucks with massive rollers designed to detonate the mines leave the way.Once on the Iraq high ways the soldiers are now the most vulneable they have been during they entired depolyment.5,4 weaked 5,4 dog cave 1 redio check over,helicopters providing cover from the air,check in.

If there is going to be trouble,convoy leaders believe that will be in and run back that,But instead the only thing that the convoy need is the rising sun.The drive drives on and on.The unrab serves so packed with bodys and gear is hard to find despite the rest of your feet,The air conditioner is keep near freezeing.So the soldiers remains alert.Then bravo company just call up that they may review small on the fire ficerity of the rest stop.Some of the vehicles have come and fire there the place with the convoy plan to take a break,The rest of the aim bypass the problem,I think instead stop later at the side of the road,We will make sure we will has chances to trade out the drivers,trade out the gunners and best is makes sure people have chances to stretch out the legs,Eventually we make it,Camp patter,It's been a grandy 10 hour at the average speed of just 13 kilometers or 20 miles an hour.Here the convoy will spend a night.What that means for you,That mean one step close to home,Hopefully everthing goes plan.

See if you can ID me,I am US state but I used to been independent kingdom,I am a popular tourist destination and I am home to around 1.3 million people,I am the most recent state to join the Union.I am Hawaii yet my islands are actually the top of the underwater volcanoes.

So,these volcanoes are still active,Canoway have been erupting since 1983 and it's not just blowing smoke,Lava is flowing out of the volcano and making it's way toward the ocean.That means it's moving across the land and this case thought the subdivision,The rather was left the subdivision incrediable vedio we have for your here.The lava havs been flowing through the Eroil garden's neighbourhood,Most of the folks who lives there left by now,There was still one person staying in the house but not anymore the home owner was rescued by helicopter this week after his house was cut off by this lava flow.

首先,我们今天要搭个便车,那就是美国军队的护送车,因为它就是从伊拉克撤军的主要交通工具。在中东国家有超过150.000名美军士兵,但是这个月底,一半的人将会离去。马丁•萨维奇表示从伊拉克撤军将是最危险的一次旅程。
凌晨2：30,车队在严寒中依然行驶,尽管时间过早,非常寒冷,但第82军已经在行进中,这趟旅行就意味着他们的战争就快结束了。
这次行程花了6个星期准备,主要是出于安全考虑,车队主要是IED打击的主要对象，做为应对美国军方开始使用一种新型保护系统以保护车辆。咱们走吧,上车。
看着远处的山越来越小,卡车和巨大的轮子设计是为了引爆埋在地上的地雷。在伊拉克高速公路,士兵们现在在展开时就会变得非常脆弱。5,4；5,4狗洞1号检查完毕，甚至直升机也在空中进行支援检查。
如果有麻烦,车队负责人相信会有一套应急系统,但是车队唯一需要的是初升的太阳。车一直开。尽管设备先进,但也很难发现脚下到底有些什么。空调几乎让人感到瑟瑟发抖。可是士兵仍然警觉。然后可能联队刚刚呼叫让他们停车生火休息。有些车已经在那里,人们开始生火,车队计划休息,其余则是绕道的问题,我认为会在可以看见路的地方停下,我们要确认我们司机的精神状态、枪手的情况及最好让大家有机会可以伸伸腿,最终我们做到了。车队花了10小时,而平均速度才每小时13公里或20英里。车队在这里度过一个晚上。这对你意味着什么？意味着离家更近一步,希望一切都按计划进行。
看看你能不能认出我,我是美国的一个州,但我过去曾是独立的王国,我是非常受欢迎的旅游胜地,我这里大约有130万人口,而即将加入联邦。我就是夏威夷群岛,我就坐落在海底火山上面。
而这些火山仍很活跃。自1983年以来火山已经爆发,不是烟,而是熔岩。它们流淌出来并流向大海。这意味着它将跨越陆地,而这个案子中会再次分流。我们这里有令人难以置信的景象。熔岩一直流到Eroil花园附近,大多数住在那里的人们都已经离开,而还有一个人住在这所房子里不愿离开, 但直到熔岩流过他家,这家主人才最好被直升机救起。
