A bomber is flying along, everything is working properly, and when he presses the button for the bomb to drop, nothing happens.

Or maybe there wasno bomb....
if he was upside-down, and he released the bomb..... then the bomb would have armed itself....
i think the bomber would have gotten blown up, heh heh

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.
don't know what country you people are from, but the arms that hold a bomb inside of a bomber act much like your hand. if they were opened while the plane was upside down they would just rest in the arms. it would be like holding a pencil in your hand and opening it.
LOL i like it... more of those... i like em
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.
that would do it!

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.
Uhhh..
Uhhh..
I thought it was a simulation...wasn't expecting such a dramatic ending...
I thought he'd already dropped the bomb so there was nothing to drop.
and why would he be flying upside down?!?!
that could have negative effect...
BOOM!
BOOM!
Wow. I didn't even know bombers were so agile.
Have anyone really heard or seen a upside-down bomber?
