I think he's lucky. It's a real bear trying to hit something the size of a light
aircraft moving at perhaps 100 miles an hour. These guys must've been excellent
marksmen to score at all. Assuming that they can choose to hit a non-critical part
instead of a critical one is folly. The only thing that kept him alive is the fact
that so much of an airplane is non-critical when we're talking about a 30-06 shell.

This marriage is off to a shaky start. The groom just asked the band to
play "Your cheatin' heart", and the bride just requested "Don't come home
a'drinkin' with lovin' on your mind".
