Billion-To-One Bullet Collision
02/28/09 - Amazing
“As an illustration of luck, it doesn’t get much more explosive. This remarkable picture shows how two bullets from opposing troops fused after striking each other in mid-air. The odds of the clash are said to be a billion-to-one and it could well have saved the lives of two soldiers. What makes the discovery more incredible is that the bullets are 150 years old and were found on the battlefields of the Crimean War, now in Ukraine. One has been identified as Russian, the other French. The discovery is said to have been made close to Balaclava, site of the notorious Charge of the Light Brigade, one of the most notorious events in British military history.” w/ photos
