Imagin being in a plane and crashing at mach 10... You probably wouldn't even know you were about to crash... if you did know.. you'd probably only know for a few seconds then... poof.

That could be pretty bad.... what if a plane going at those speeds crashed into a city , the collateral would be horrendous .

That's what I was thinking. The were flying this thing at 7,000 mph, 110,000 ft in the air. How could they be sure it wouldn't crash into some populated area? Could you imagine! You wouldn't even see it coming, it's like a 15,000 pound bullet.
