Monday, 25 June, 2001, 09:46 GMT 10:46 UK Japanese jet strafes medical
              centre

A Japanese fighter aircraft on a training exercise has accidentally strafed a
medical rehabilitation centre, hitting a car and a garage.

              A spokesman for the Japanese air self-defence force said
the pilot had not intended to fire his guns at the centre near the Shinamatsu
training base, some 700km (450 miles) north of Tokyo.

              Police said no-one was hurt.

This is pretty damn easy to do. Considering how far some 20 and 25mm rounds
will travel when aimed upwards. A 20mm round somehow managed to skip downrange
of a gunnery range here in Georgia a year or two back and fubared some guy's
truck while it was sitting in his yard. The truck was several miles from the
range.

Man....and I thought you could only skip rocks...

Did the local weather have something to do with it, or was that the natural
range of the weapon?

(Say...Just what is the exact translation of "fubar"....Thanks)
