Exactly...I heard that they were using flash bang grenades and firing (potentially warning shot) as they were coming down. Even warning shots could have been misconstrued as firing into the crowd in the chaos. Not exactly a good way to board peacefully and get cooperation from the crew and passengers who may already be hostile against you. Someone left their thinking cap at home when they planned this one...or a possible show of force on the Israeli side intended to send a message just backfired like a howitzer with a cement filled barrel.

Sorry, I suppose I have to also add the significance of the Israeli's opening fire before boarding: Israel said that it did not fire first. It was only after its soldiers were surrounded and feared for their lives that they opened fire, purely in self defence. And...for those with short memories...the Israelis shooting first is consistent with the broadcasts which were heard from the vessels before their signals were jammed during the Israeli attacks, and what has been said by several witnesses (including Human ones from 'Developed' countries).
