Scramjet & Maoists.

This is coolbert:

More stuff from the Chicago Tribune today:

"NATION"

1. "Hypersonic record set"

"WASHINGTON - - An experimental aircraft has set a record for hypersonic flight, flying more than three minutes at Mach 6 - - six times the speed of sound."

"The X-51A Waverider was released from a B-52 [bomber] off the coast of Southern California coast Wednesday morning . . . Its scramjet engine accelerated the vehicle to Mach 6, and it flew autonomously for 200 seconds."

Waverider. The hypersonic attack vehicle, part "airplane" and part "space plane"! Designed to be launched by a B-52, able to hit and obliterate any target on the planet within 30 minutes, tungsten rods having prodigious energy levels providing a non-nuclear option for strategic threats!!

"WORLD"

2. "Trains crash after blast on rebels' turf in India"

"NEW DELHI - - Two trains collided after a blast hit a passenger train and flung it into the path of a speeding freight train Friday in eastern India, killing at least 25 people."

"The incident occurred in an area known to be a stronghold of Maoist rebels."

Maoists at work again! Derailing a train with explosives, and apparently quite expertly so too! Derail the passenger train so that collides with another train on an adjacent track at the same time. Quite pre-meditated, diabolical, cold-blooded!

For some reason, the Maoists of India feel emboldened in a way they have not been prior? This is becoming a serious internal threat to the government of India?
