Re: F-16 strafes school in New Jersey
Looks like one pilots flying career is coming to a premature end.....
But seriously, why the hell is a school 3.5 miles from an AF bombing range??? 3.5 miles is literally a few seconds travelling time for a fighter jet. There is a bombing range near where I live, but its on a beach in the middle of nowhere (in British terms - its miles from the nearest village and a good 25 miles from the nearest town)
"I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."

Looks like it been someone that's been saving space (they'll never miss thier target by 3,5 milesThe range has been used by the military since the end of World War II, long before the once-rural area was developed.).
We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

Re: F-16 strafes school in New Jersey
LOL....
Man that is mad, but you can not tell what occured from that short article...
It is possible that the jet was a long way away at the time and if at maybe an overshoot from the actual range... The article does not mention anyone hearing the aircraft...
When I was in the army I had to do a charge sheet once for a Sergeant who fired a 30mm round inland from a coastal firing range in Wales... They were attempting to clear a jammed round while retiring from the firing line of the range with the weapon barrel at maximum elevation...
(and yes they should not have left the line with the jam in place...)

Wow, that's jsut amazing. When I saw this, I thought it had to be some sort of joke.
I guess we'll see if it was negligence or not...
Also, why would people build so close to a bombing range?!

Re: F-16 strafes school in New Jersey

Re: F-16 strafes school in New Jersey
I knew people had an attitude about Jersey, but this is really going too far. That pilot should show some respect to the Garden State.
