OK, I know, I know the predicted collision model in the thread became true.... But would like to throw something out there for thought somewhat along the line of the original thread.
I'm sure there is no answer for this, but just something that has been wondered for some years.......
During the huge air fights in europe, britain and central europe.... There was massive amounts of ammo shot, cartridges expelled, shrapnel from flak, rounds from other AA batteries, as well as pieces of planes shot off.
With all that metal going up, gravity rules persist that it also comes down. I wonder how many injuries or deaths came about while walking along the road, then "poof" a piece of metal or expended round comes from the sky and hits you. The odds might not have been that good you'd get hit, but still the odds would be there.
I don't know why, but have wondered about that when I see footage of the formations and fights.
Just pondering............
