I read that it was a muzzle loader still loaded from the previous hunting season. He loaded more powder and another ball on top of that and boom. This is why you mark your ramrod with a load in the gun as a reference.

That Vietnam war doco is seriously good, I'm only a few eps in though. The pre-war stuff is really fascinating, I never knew the North/South split was such a clusterfuck of bullshit, it's bananas. And all the audio they have of LBJ and other dudes talking about exactly how hosed they are if they send troops, but feeling like they have to anyway :psyduck:

Yeah, I was worried about the documentary just being a re-hash of History Channel coverage of the Vietnam War. I was pleasantly surprised how many Vietnamese they got in the documentary. Another Ken Burns hit.

Also: That dude looks like he works for the mob :tinfoil:

Even better, he broke his back on his last Vietnam flight, then kept flying after recovering. Its disgusting that ethics are viewed with distaste in the face of crimes against humanity.

Does a bear split in the woods near Zheleznogorsk?
Well poo poo. Not sure how that happened. Looks like the same thing that brought down the Thunderbird at Mountain Home about 10 years ago, but his error was mixing up AGL/MSL at a base that's 3,000 up. Unless that's a lake, probably something a bit different here.
