So that's how the "Flying Can Openers " got their name ;)

[Wander00]

Is this the new "Caption Competition" thread?.................

[CoffmanStarter]

Wander00 ... Bob IS that desperate for a win :p

[Martin the Martian]

Don't worry, it'll buff out.



Well, somebody had to say it.

[onetrack]

Ahhh, well ... look at it this way. It could have been a lot worse. It could have damaged the rocket.

[gr4techie]

I've never understood the phrase "near miss"?

Surely it is a miss that's a near hit.

[Martin the Martian]

I guess near miss is not quite as disconcerting as being told that the airliner you were flying on had a near hit with another airliner.:ooh:

[goudie]

Does anyone know the story behind this near miss, I mean near hit?

Silly answers welcome!

[Boudreaux Bob]

Caption Contest.....errrrr not intentionally.

Accuracy counts in Warfare but it also helps if things go "Bang!" when they are supposed to unless one is just merely sending messages I guess.

[maliyahsdad2]

That must be a missile rather than a hitile.

During shelling of positions of Ukrainian armed forces by Russians a rocket of Russian multiple rocket launcher system ‘Uragan’ [Hurricane] hit the vehicle but did not explode. The shelling took place near the settlement of Dmytrivka in Donetsk blast.

TEEEJ

:ok:

[Just This Once...]

That is not the bit of the rocket that is supposed to go bang. The payload may have been delivered as advertised and went bang, or is a payload type that is designed to wait around before going bang.

The bit shown has to land somewhere.

Unless it has a long delayed-action fu.................
