Illegal Immigrant w/rock vs US Helicopter!

[Sjakihata]

Im sure that if a rock hit a modern american attack helicopter, not a damn thing would happen.

This 'copter is obviously a fragile patrol aircraft.

Well, there is something pilots call the "golden BB"

(that's named after the small pellet air rifles called BB-guns here, just in case you come from a culture without such)

This is the incredibly small/low velocity round that happens, against all the almost incalcuable odds to hit exactly the wrong place and bring the bird down.

We don't have a national baseball team save in olympic competition, the real money is pitching in the bigs -- and you don't have to be a citizen either!

You're probably right. Still, what the illegal immigrant did was quite an accomplishment. Thank goodness the pilot is safe.

Depends on the size and speed of the rock.
