Many 'Situation Puzzles' are not designed to be answered by themselves. The idea is for one person to know the answer and other people in a group to try and guess it using yes or no questions. The first person to get the answer is the winner.
A bomber is flying along, everything is working properly, and when he presses the button for the bomb to drop, nothing happens.

Why is this?

Or maybe there wasno bomb....

Yes I think the bomber would have been blown up too. The bomb would fall toward the ceiling of the bomber if the plane was flying upside down and would have a good chance of going off. Also bombers do not drop there load unless they have a visual or radar reading that tells them they are over there target. In either case they would notice that they were flying upside down.

Some bombs are attached to wing mounts. If these are released, the bomb would be ripped away from the wing by air resistance and fall anyway.

Thanks, I needed a giggle!

Yeah, I also thought the bomb was missing. If you'll say that "everything was working" precludes that, it could potentially preclude the pilot's disorientation as well. Still, a cute idea. Write more!

I bet he wished he didn't do so many stunts. :P

I thought it was a simulation...wasn't expecting such a dramatic ending... :o

I thought he'd already dropped the bomb so there was nothing to drop. :-?

Posted by kimba13210/21/08
and why would he be flying upside down?!?!

Posted by jonas11/13/08
that could have negative effect... BOOM!

Wow. I didn't even know bombers were so agile. :o Have anyone really heard or seen a upside-down bomber?
