“We’re not yet at a point where we can say this individual pilot flying this particular aircraft was the one that the munition fell off of,” he said.

I was curious that a pilot would not notice that a bomb has fallen off of his plane then I noticed from your picture how small the bomb is.

Now I am curious that the bomb did the damage described.

During a training exercise in NJ a jet strafed a grammar school. Thankfully this was in the night. However, the janitor was rather shocked to hear what sounded like pop corn hitting the roof.

My father in law dropped his bombs on the airstrip just sitting there one time. It was one of those early trainer jets in the 1960's (T-33?). It was a mechanical failure, a wire shorted out. He was in trouble until he found the wire that shorted out and showed it to his superior.

The nonexplosive training bomb sent startled workers scurrying...

That's an understatment!
