Description:

Bill Wilson and Chris Kopp were two of the first Canadian soldiers deployed to Afghanistan.

One night in April 2002, they were at a training exercise at Tarnak Farms, Osama Bin Laden's old hideout outside of Kandahar.

All of a sudden, they see a blast, and chaos surrounds them. What happens next would change their lives — and the Canadian military — forever.
