#1 Ah, similar to the infamous "Hiedi" episode here in the States.

I'm assuming that Tiger aircraft are Cessna types and the "bombs" are grenades or such. This is a lot like watching your kids play with their army men, only deadlier.

#2 Even the World Cup Final ended in a bizarre manner . Aussies thought they had won (leading by 53 runs and darkness was falling). As they were celebrating, the umpires indicated that the match was to go on. Finished in the dark - no lights at the oval in Bridgetown. Farcical to say the least (and at least one coach was murdered - guess what country - you're right Pakistan).
