| Explosion Destroys Key Bridge in Georgia |
| 2008-10-25 |
| An explosion has destroyed a key bridge linking Georgia's breakaway republic of Abkhazia with the rest of the country. Georgian officials and Abkhazian authorities blamed each other for the blast. Residents of Abkhazia's Gali district had used the bridge to reach Georgia's Zugdidi region. Georgian authorities have called the explosion an effort by separatist and Russian officials to cut off Abkhazia and another breakaway Georgian region, South Ossetia, from the rest of the country. |

| #5 Spomble - In 2004 I had the privlege of being at the Charleston SC memorial service for the crew of the CSS Hunley. Naturally the place was filled with reenactors, and there were several full companies of CSA troops. Each of them gave the yell upon leaving the cemetery, and all I could think of - standing within a few feet of them when they let go - was that now I knew why grown men quailed in fear upon hearing that sound.
