About This Quote

When a bomb is being dropped from an airplane, it will be traveling at a set speed, and the bomb’s impact will take place at that same set speed. In other words, the bomb will hit its target at that same instant that the bomb is being dropped from the plane. This is because the distance from the plane to the target is the same as the distance from the ground to the target. The human body’s ability to take in oxygen and use it for energy is limited to a certain amount of time.

If a person has been shot in a battle, this limit may have been reached while he or she was still alive. If this occurs, death follows shortly thereafter. In other words, when a bomb is dropped from an airplane, it will land on its target instantly.
