F-16 Pilot Drops Bomb on Tulsa, Accidentally

So , ok , everyone makes a mistake sometimes , but few of us have ever dropped a bomb from our fighter jet by accident , as happened late last week in Tulsa . as luck would have it , it was a dummy practice dud , filled with nothing more exciting than a smoke accusation , and apparently it was n’t the pilot ’s fault . But it did still drop flop through one guy ’s flat . Miraculously no one was hurt , though the unlucky guy himself is still a little amazed by it all :

It sounds moderately in question , but it seems that shortly after take - off , one 22 - pound sign BDU-33 dummy dud from a group of six just “ devolve off ” one of the F16s that was heading for a drill bombing bleed in Kansas . The first reading that something was amiss was apparently at the bombardment range itself , where only five impacts were record from that aircraft .

There I was cogitate that flyers were heroical , reasoning peachy - eyed guy rope . I mean , you ’d think you ’d notice bombing Tulsa would n’t you ? Mind you , I ’ve never been there . [ Danger room ]
