It was a B-25, actually. Presumably not bombed-up. But in any case, at a weight of, say, 25,000 lb and around 150 kt, it would have more than 20 times the impact energy of a 100 kt, 2400 lb light single.
Yes, but did it hurt the monkey ?


GeneralMelchet - agree 100% with you !!

BTW, yesterday lunchtime, I happened to be on Kings Cross station when smoke started to come out of one the the underground entrances. It seems there was a fire somewhere in the tunnels on the circle line and it was venting through the station. So, there was the smoke (not a huge amount granted) ,there were staff at the entrances, there were the firemen running around from at least 2 applicances and there were members of the public . . . . . still trying to go down and argueing with the staff, all this despite Kings Cross's history of fire. !
