Where is the U.S. military's public apology? Were they able to determine who the pilot was? Sounds like an after-war investigation to me waiting to happen!
All of these incidents need to be investigated, but it happens on all sides in all wars (doesn't excuse it). Wasn't Trooper David Clarke killed when his tank was struck by a shell from another British tank?
This is really tragic:

Three wounded UK soldiers have described how they survived an attack by a US A-10 Thunderbolt anti-tank aircraft that killed one of their troop and destroyed two armoured vehicles.>

"There was a boy of about 12-years-old. He was no more than 20 metres [65.6 ft] away when the Yank opened up. There were all these civilians around.">

"He [the pilot] had absolutely no regard for human life. I believe he was a cowboy. He'd just gone out on a jolly.">
