Sorry, we just flew a missile into your house :(
A homeowner in Russia got a fun surprise, when the Russian military accidentally fired a missile into his house.Russia's military offered compensation to him on Thursday, after the missile veered off course during a training exercise. The fact that is was described as a 'small rocket' is presumably a relief to the man. FULL STORY HERE
C4NN Says:
Where to begin?! Well for starters thank god it was only a "Small Rocket," Right?....WHAT THE HECK IS A SMALL ROCKET?! You know what I consider a small rocket?
SMALL Rockets as defined by C4NN
Those are small rockets; However, we can assume the term "Small Rocket" obviously does not imply the Russian government had a bottle rocket fight in the park that got out of hand and mothers had to be called. No. Let me use this chart to explain what SMALL ROCKET means when the government says one just hit your house.
A SMALL rocket appears to be shorter then 2 meters in length.
Oh, so small rocket means LESS then 2 meters? Pfft. wussy, suck it up. why is this even news?.....ARE YOU JOKING?!
I'm pretty sure anything thats around a meter long, made of steel, with a pointed tip, falling from the sky at thousands of meters per second is going to suck when it collides with the roof of your house. Please note this is not even considering the fact that IT ALSO EXPLODES.
Now I can't believe I'm about to actually write this, but in terms of missiles hitting your house this guy got off easy. The damage was estimated to be 60,000 rubles ($2,510.62 CND - xe.com). and apparently the government has stated It will be paid to the home owner within in two days.
I don't know what's more shocking, the fact the governments press release pretty much said "Not to worry it was only a small rocket." Or the fact that this guy only got $2,500. People in BC get higher ICBC claims for fender benders and this guy had his roof impaled by a rogue missile! Wow. Too bad he wasn't home or near by when it happened, then at he could have faked whiplash and got some free Physio.
