creating a powerful vacuum that literally sucked guerrillas out from their hideaways into the street

Story by Kieran Murray of Reuters. This is what happens when they don't teach physics in colleges of journalism.

I wonder if the "Arab Street" has been told of this by their objective media?

Careful!

If Bill Clinton finds out about "powerful vacuums sucking people in the street" he way try to hog in on all the glory.

My nephew-in-law is a tank driver. We were out salmon fishing last summer and he was telling us how the depleted uranium shells kill tanks.

He said they puch a 2 to 3 inch hole through the tank and the occupants and everything else inside are sucked out through the exit hole by the incredible vacuum created. What a way to go!

I suspect that there's a lot of hooey here. HOWEVER, as you know a high-velocity (supersonic) object creates a shock wave. The front part of the shock wave is an over-pressure, the last part is an under-pressure (vacuum).

Vaccuum.......

I have a hunch there are some soldiers getting a kick out of "funnin' " the gullible, ignorant journalists.
