What does it look and sound like when a hellfire missile strike? [View all]

I'm horrified at the images I've seen of Boston. And the sounds, the screaming. And the sight of blood on the ground.

I wonder what it would look like if we ever had footage of one of our very frequent drone strikes. Do Pakistanis scream?
