A US couple checking their answering machine heard a frightening three-minute recording of their son caught in a battle in Afghanistan.Stephen Phillips, 22, was fighting insurgents when his mobile phone was pressed, causing it to dial his parents' number in Otis, Oregon.
Most of the sounds were gunfire, but swearing and shouts of "more ammo!" and "incoming!" could also be heard.

Nothing like coming home to a battle on your answering machine and wondering if the offspring is safe!
Yeah, not something I would want to hear!
I've gotten a few messages like that where people accidentally hit my number on speed dial on their cell. But nothing like THAT!
