I'm trying to figure out the angle of the shell and how it cleared Mount Timpanogos to land in Pleasant Grove. Oops is an understatement.

LOL, Friendly fire......isn't. Heh.
Somebody familiar with 105's can check my math here... but isn't it true that the 105 pretty much uses a complete cartridge round, and doesn't use powder bags like the larger bore artillery?
If that's the case, how can they really claim that it was an error with the powder charge? Seems a little unlikely, doesn't it?
If it was in fact merely an error with the point and train of the gun... why not just say that? A mistake is a mistake... sheesh... we *know* about the part where it hit something you didn't want to hit. The *why* is sorta anticlimatic.

In 63, a reserve DE escorting us on a training cruise fired the main battery (at least two salvoes) 180 degrees to the gunnery range's axis, and bracketted...and panicked...a Japanese freighter over the horizon. Several years ago, the 133 FA Bn of the Texas Army National Guard did something "mathematically impossible". They fired not one, but two M109A3, 155 howitzer rounds over the mountains at Donna Anna range. The rounds landed just short of IH10 west of El Paso in the desert of New Mexico.
