ten years ago, were you ready for for your life to be changed forever?

I was flying private jets for a small company and I had no idea this September was going to change my life forever. Anyone that has shot a rifle knows that lee harvey could have made that shot and anyone that has flown an airplane knows that a pilot cold have hit the twin towers and pentagon with a 757 at 450kts.

Sometimes I start drinking early in the day too.

KING: Senator Kerry did your -- did you committee on international operations and terrorism ever actually fear something like this?

SEN. JOHN KERRY (R), MASSACHUSETTS: Absolutely. Absolutely. Originally Posted by *CNN's Larry King 09/11/2001

Personally, I prefer some coffee in the mornings. Early mornings. Then iced tea.

Awww.. that is sad. Hopefully the drunk is in prison.

My life was forever altered by an event involving an abusive ex-boyfriend. Won't go into details but I have lived with the consequences ever since.

If memory serves me correct, did not some fool fly a small Cessna plane onto the whitehouse lawn? As well as some other fool landed one at the Kremlin?

Those small single engine planes can carry about 500 pounds of cargo? I do not want to think what 500 pounds of certain types of cargo could have done.

At the risk of taking this thread off course, Pun intended, that isn't that hard of a shot to make. Never been in control of something at 450kts so I can't comment on that.
As for the OP.......WTF?

Two deployments and 9 years in the Army later...yeah...my life is a tad different...

It's possible. I've done it. Not with a Carcano but with a 1903 Springfield (also with a Mauser action) and a 4x scope and made all three hits on a pie plate at 75 yds.
It's three shots but the clock doesn't start till the first crack so that actually means reloading and firing two shots in just under 7 seconds. It's really not that hard.
The field of view of a 4 power scope at 75 yards is about 20 feet. Large enough to quickly reaquire a moving vehicle after the moderate recoil and powerful enough to focus on a target the size of a human head within the given time at said distance.

The first missed shot would be the result nerves and of shooting from an elevated rest at a moving target going away. The second (neck) shot would also be the result of mis-judging the movement away and a shot from roughly 50' above the target. Adjusting for the elevation and movement he put the third and final shot right where he intended.

Can't argue with the nutbag as a matter of fact my whole theory on the assassination relies on the fact that he was a nut bag.

The three names? Hell, I have three names I just haven't been caught doing anything bad enough yet for the press to learn them and use them over and over and over again.

boardman, I always assumed you were weird...now, you are scary weird.

It's my other hobby

so when you said "NaN, lets go hunt some 'pussy'" .......... ...
