Thacker) Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories Lines: 19 Approved: military@att.att.com From: Philip Montgomery Sherwood My roommate and I were discussing the Iraqi bunkers, and were trying to think of ways to destroy the bunkers. One idea we had was to reprogram the patriot (don't know if possible - could use another missile) to fly up over the bunker, turn over and do a powered dive into the bunker area at Mach 3. Wouldn't this have a quite an impact energy and do a good bit of damage? Granted, finding the bunker could be difficult. There were other questions we didn't know the answers to like: could the missile go Mach 3 at the low altitudes without succumbing to air resistance? philip sherwood (ps3h+@andrew.cmu.edu) I've got the road in my blood, I drive a custom van, I play the tunes I'm the neighborhood Ice Cream Man...
