Belgian aircraft mechanic destroys F-16 in a fireball, second one damaged....OPENED FIRE WITH GATLING GUN!

in #informationwar6 years ago

This is one of those stories that could be kind of funny if it weren't for the enormous costs to over-burdened taxpayers. Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt--except that mechanic, who is going to be paying this one back for a VERY long time...lol.

Here is the article:

Here is an excerpt from the link above:

"A multi-million-pound fighter jet exploded and another was damaged when a mechanic accidentally opened fire from a third plane during maintenance. The F-16 Falcon jet, worth around $19million (£15million), was destroyed in the blaze as it was parked at a military base in Belgium and the second plane sitting next to it suffered fire damage from the on-board Gatling cannon. Two technicians working on the Belgian Air Force stealth planes were said to have been injured in the incident at the Florennes air base, 60 miles south of Brussels, on Thursday afternoon."

Apparently, the idiocracy is not an uniquely American situation.

LOL...
