Seriously? A rocket

A military rocket crashed into a Tulsa building late Thursday night, knocking out a nearby apartment wall and power to the apartment complex.  

The incident happened at the Canyon Creek Apartment complex at 51st and Lewis.  

The rocket was discovered when a couple returned to their apartment Thursday night.  

Tulsa Police say the couple found a big hole in a wall and the rocket, some of which was buried in the foundation.  The rocket had knocked out power to the complex.  

Officials say the rocket had a dummy warhead on it and came from an Air National Guard jet.  The pilot thought he had lost the inert rocket over a field in Kansas during a training mission Thursday.  

Tulsa Police say because of the power outage, PSO crews were called to repair the problem.

Agents from the FBI and the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms are investigating.

No one was injured in the incident.

You're not in Kansas anymore.... You are in Tulsa, OK. [:I]

Somebody didn't have their bearings if they still thought they were in Kansas.

I take it that they have some practice bombing range in Kansas?

Yeah, really.  It's Bushco's fault.  [}:)]

So long as no one was hurt... what a great story to tell people.  "Yeah, I was bombed by an F-15 one time.  No big deal really."

Hey!  We should build a bronze statue of this rocket!  It is like God dropped it right on us!

Wait, doesn't Glenpool have a rocket?  Darn those suburbs!

If only it had landed in the river...
What if it had landed on a casino?  Those jurisdictions would have been interesting to see get worked out.

Anyone know how to schedule such flyovers?  You see, my neighbors house is a bit rundown and...

I might as well just pack it in for today, 'cause it's all down hill after that butte of awesomeness.
Does anyone know the name of the pilot?  I have  a friend in the guard who would love to give him a darn good ribbing.

So, Jr. Birdman THOUGHT he lost it in Kansas? LMAO! I'm glad nobody was injured.

The military has taken possession of it and have taken over the investigation along with paying for the damage to the apartment complex...
