Makes sense, why produce additional evidence to be subpoenaed and used against you, right?

I wonder how long is was after the shot that they figured out just how wrong that sh*t went.

I assume they would notice it missed the barrels and made a whole in the wall, but I'd guess their next thought would be to look for it imbedded in the berm behind the wall. Unless of course they had the slo-mo shot of it disappearing off into the distance....

One of my all time favorite moments on Mythbusters was the episode at a crash test site (looked like a pretty chintzy operation) when the brake system on the sled failed and the car went launching over the berm. Kari's reaction face was the most completely genuine "Oh fvck, what did we just do?!" ever on the show. Great stuff.

This video from Moonie's link has some good footage.

I loved that moment - so glad they showed that.

Nice followup article on Wired today.

The author makes a fair case they were closer to the houses than generally reported in the news.

If true, it means they were firing in the direction of the closest homes.

Yeah, I was watching the video, and looking at google maps. The only way the entry point makes sense is if they were in the empty field, essentially across the street from the first house.

Still an impressive feet to blast all the way through the house, off a roof, and into a car, no matter the distance.

ETA: Actually, now looking at the pinned sequence in the link you gave, I guess the hole behind the reported is the exit hole, not entry. That makes more sense as the satellite image does appear to show what looks like a bomb range to the west.

Halfway between the two red arrows, a little below the map part shown is me. I'm almost famous!

You are in the prison?

That explains so much.
