Balkans!!??? Launched out of the track with only a few broken bones. 
I've read more than a few incidents where TCs left part of their 
bodies behind when playing the part of a cannon ball. Lucky lucky 
man. I'm glad you're still around to talk about it.

I suspect Beth is wondering wether your crew bailed when you were 
exiting the track. You didn't happen to see them on the return phase 
of your arc did you?

Was this in a Bradly or a M113?
