Cow bomb™

Introduction

After September 11th, security precautions have been tightened to prevent against further terrorist attacks. However there are many types of attacks that cannot be planned for, one rather extreme example is the use of the utterly devastating cow bomb™.

Cow bomb™ is a specific instance of the more general class of terrorist attacks known as falling comedy animal attacks.

Details

Cow bomb™ involves a cow being dropped from a helicopter onto a house or other target, because cows are very heavy they will cause significant damage when dropped from a great height. The following graph shows how accuracy decreases with the height the from which the cow is dropped.
