Thread: it can happen to anyone! Please be safe

In the 70s I read a Reader's digest story about a woman driver who started veering off a highway.

A cop following her noticed it and stopped. She was disoriented and died. During autopsy they couldn't find anything until someone noticed a pink spot behind her ear.

Further investigation found a 303 bullet in the brain stem.

They dis all the simulations and concluded that the bullet entered from a ventilator (old molde car) and must have been fired from a long distance.

Finally it was proved that the shot came from out at sea where a guy was doing target practice on a buoy.

Even more strange is that they knew each other.

Here's one for yi's..
It was aways back during that crazy meat hunting era eh.
Myself and a good mate were heading through the Makarora area to the Coast.
As quick as a flash the windscreen shatters and everything glass is covering both our knees.
Sitting amongst the bits and pieces was a battered .22 pill...reckoned it was a 50grn job at the time.
We can only speculate where it may have come from.............one thing we do know is that it had to have been nearing it's journey from some distance.
Anything can happen any time eh.
