Stealth bombers are dropping from the sky and now this.
What's going on in USAF? What kind of pilots fly those F-16s?... :confused:

A US Air National Guard F-16 fighter jet has accidentally bombed an apartment complex in the mid-American city of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The pilot was under the impression that the 25-pound bomb had been dropped over a field in Kansas and not on a densely populated area in Oklahoma.
According to Oklahoma Air National Guard, the non-explosive BDU-33 bomb was equipped with an inert warhead and was dropped, as the F-16 was en route to Smokey Hill Gunnery Range in Salina, Kan.
The incident has significantly damaged the building, leaving more than 16 apartments without power.
The Air National Guard has canceled all practice flights involving the non-explosive training bombs until the matter is thoroughly investigated by the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
Earlier in October 2007, a Navy fighter jet accidentally dropped a 10-pound BDU-48 on a Virginia Beach warehouse and in July 2002, an Air Force jet released three BDU-33s over Texas and New Mexico.
