Homes and a church destroyed with four critically wounded in this incident.

Sounds like a number of peeps need to go find less critical employment.

[Uncle Miltie]

Wait!

Quick!

Turn this into an unintelligible compendium!

The earth is wobbling in its orbit.

Norms have been broken!

Will we ever recover???

Reminds me of an incident here in the states about 10-15 years ago where (I think it was Natl. Guard) artillery was accidentally fired into a shopping center (Walmart?) parking lot.

[Paal Gulli]

MK82 = 500-lb bomb, about 200# of which is HE.

Times eight makes for 1600 lbs of explosive.

[Nextrush]

We sent a hell of a lot of those to Israel for use in recent years.

Prayers that ‘hurt’ means quick recovery, none severe. 🇺🇸🙏🇰🇷

[lee martell]

“misdrops”. First time I’ve seen that form of the word, used here as a modified verb.

That’s like saying ‘I ‘mis-sat’ in the wrong chair’

[Nextrush]

Did I mis-eat dinner this evening?

[dayglored]

“Mistakes were made.”

[Steely Tom]

There was an incident, I think in New Jersey, where an F-16 accidentally fired a couple dozen rounds into a school. The school was unoccupied at the time. Maybe twenty years ago.

Eric Swalwell made some stupid gun control argument a while back, to the effect that “citizens have guns, but the government has F-16s, so the Second Amendment wasn’t intended to deter government from oppressing citizens, because government will always have superior firepower”. What a dolt.

[Waverunner]

South Korean F16, I’m sure there will be a joint forces review that will rule S. Korean Pilot error. Hate to be cold, but not our issue.

[Bullish]

What’s South Korean for ‘whoopsie’?

[MikeSteelBe]

Sum ting wong.

[Bikkuri]

That sounds a little familiar too..

[FlingWingFlyer]

He needs to tell that to the Viet Cong and the NVA.

[MrFarhenheit]

KOREAN Air Force...

It takes only 6 letters to clarify that it wasn’t the US Air Force.

[Iron Munro]

DEI - It’s a killer!
