Weeks after the fiery death of investigative journalist Michael Hastings , who was probing abuses by the CIA and NSA and had recently informed others that he was being investigated by federal authorities, suspicions about his mysterious car crash are still swirling around the Internet. While police officially ruled the death an accident, serious questions are still surfacing even in the establishment media and among prominent officials. Based on e-mails Hastings sent out shortly before he died about working on a big story and needing to go off the radar, it has become clear that he was worried, too.
Hastings, who wrote for Rolling Stone, BuzzFeed, Gawker, and other publications, was probably best known for his award-winning 2010 article The Runaway General. The piece helped bring down U.S. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, commander of American and NATO forces in Afghanistan. Despite his establishment credentials and what analysts called his Democrat-friendly reporting, Hastings had become extremely alarmed about the surveillance state and other troubling developments in recent months.

Thank you. I withdraw my comment.

Not a hellfire. I’ve heard one take out a car. The “Whoosh...... Boom” can be heard from at least a mile away. There were witnesses and people awake at the time and no ones reported a missile sound.
The smaller engines are all the rage now. They use high pressure injectors to inject fuel and air at 100s of PSI prior to combustion. The effect is the small engine has an effective displacement of several times a conventional engine nullifying the ole Cu In. comparison. Check out the Rotax engines. 400 hp in a bread box.
Isaiah 47
The Fall of Babylon
1 Go down, sit in the dust, Virgin Daughter Babylon;
sit on the ground without a throne, queen city of the Babylonians. No more will you be called tender or delicate.
2 Take millstones and grind flour; take off your veil. Lift up your skirts, bare your legs, and wade through the streams.
3 Your nakedness will be exposed and your shame uncovered. I will take vengeance; I will spare no one. ...
8 Now then, listen, you lover of pleasure, lounging in your security and saying to yourself,
I am, and there is none besides me. America, the only superpower...
15 That is all they are to you these you have dealt with and laboured with since childhood. All of them go on in their error; there is not one that can save you.

I know.
