Why are they conducting tests where misfires can/do land on civillian housing?

I think the news here is that artillery shells are misfiring into people's houses...

It would've been crazy news if the girl had been sleeping in her bed at the time.

I don't know, but if I was the bed's maker I'd incorporate that feat into a late night infomercial.

First they show it with the stack of wineglasses on it, and drop a bowling ball on it. Then for the next demonstration, they fire a volley of bowling balls at the bed from a battleship's main guns. The bowling balls shatter on impact. "But the wineglasses are STILL standing!!!! AMAZING!!!" *applause*

I imagine the roof slowed it a bit... It's 6x4 inches. We're not talking a howitzer here...

I say we line carriers, destroyers, and tanks with beds that have sleeping cats on them.

Our army will be indestructible.
