    Fortunately a "controlled explosion" wasn't carried out "in situ".

    The mind boggles as to how this accident could have occurred?

    Lordy me! they would have been in stitches in the OR after all had settled down & removed it, I guess the shell went from Olive Drab paint scheme to a Mission Brown one!

    It was a total dis-***-ter, doctor. A real cat-***-strophe. I was in the rear with the gear, and now I have some major disbumfort. I would have come right away, but the Mrs. wasn't cheeky about me driving myself in this condition and didn't want to be party pooper.
