Dodged those a time or three...During an interdiction turnaround mission one night in '69 to rearm on bingo fumes we were forced to land at Phu cat during a 122mm attack launched from the nearby hills..Fortunately only two out 5 detonated.

the other three disintegrated on impact spewing big chunks of burning solid propellant from all compass headings like the 4th of july. No major damage this time just a PITA for the fire dept extinguishing

a few grass fires along the active and between several aircraft revetments..

You better be afraid of a ghost!!
