Bunker; 2 Men Die
Hurlburt Field, Fla.-IUPB
A low-flying jet fighter fired
four non-explosive rockets at
a protective bunker here
Thursday during war games.
One of the rockets crashed

The freak accident happen
ed during war games by the
Tactical Air Command and an
immediate investigation was
launched to learn whether
human or mechanical error
caused the accident.
No Explosion
Exactly how the two men
were killed and the others
injured was not disclosed by
Air Force officials. They said,
however, there was no explo
sion when the rockets hit the
protective bunker, 200 square
feet of solid reinforced con
crete six feet high.. .The bunk
er was used to house person

formances. The plane, an F-100 super

pilot fired all four of his rock
ets at a simulated target. They
