Talk about a bounce!

[livendive 8]

Somehow I'm skeptical of the explanation
here.

A small dummy projectile is dropped from 1700 feet, bounces seven to eight hundred feet horizontally, off a building and out into a highway where it goes through the hood of a semi.

Bullshit. It's a cover-up. It's a conspiracy. It's completely improbable that this happened "by accident."

(grin, snicker)

The government MEANT for this to happen. There's no way this could have happened without Uncle Sam having a major hand in it. The intention is to destabilize the economy, to create fear in the American populace, and energize the American war machine for years to come.

(chortle, snuff)

It's a conspiracy, I say!

A metallic object might bounce pretty well if it hit a hard surface.

Somebody in Florida was telling me about using bowling balls.

You park a junk car on an abandoned road. Then, fly over in a Cessna and try to hit it with a bowling ball from 5-600 ft.

If you miss, it bounces really well. If it hits, it does cool stuff.

I dunno about airplanes, but we use to have late night 'Bowling for Buicks'...

There was an old Buick Wildcat 'airport car' at a dz I worked for.

Parked it at the end of the runway on the numbers, get my ole Pontiac up to about 110 and toss a bowling ball out the window.

Amazing the morning after dents that Wildcat would show.

...gotta get on the brakes pretty hard cuz if ya get a solid 'strike', the friggin' ball comes back at ya about as fast as it got there!

There's a great story that BrentFinley posted in the photography forum about documenting the world's largest rubber band drop out of the Skydive AZ skyvan... it's worth the search to read.
