*This one made me laugh as if they tried to hit it they probably wouldn't have succeeded.



"Darwin police say a dummy missile has fallen off a Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18A Hornet, crushing a car in a Darwin suburb. The jet was involved in the Pitch Black joint military exercises between Australian, Singaporean and British air forces. The missile landed on a four-wheel-drive parked in a panel beaters in the industrial suburb of Berrima, destroying the front of the vehicle and damaging two others. No-one was injured in the incident. A police spokesman says it was a "captive missile", not explosive but instead carrying recording equipment. He says the RAAF has been to the scene to remove the missile."
