What a landing! (Military Photo)

The folks at Snopes.com have a very cool picture of a US CH-47 Chinook helicopter "landing" on the top of a roof to retrieve some Afghans taken by the Army's 10th Mountain Division. That is some freakin' skilled piloting right there....

(Enlarge it to see some incredible detail including those back wheels resting comfortably on the roof)
