Actually, assuming you mean North Koreans by NORKS then the A10 wont be a lot of good since the amount of AA the North Koreans have is absurd and most of it is dedicated to shooting down low and slow airplanes which the A10 is.
Anyone have a link to that video with the Kamikaze plane with that very recognizable sound when it dives?
I tried looking but I can't find it, it's like 20 seconds long or maybe shorter.

Imagine being some kid in Stalingrad sitting in your house eating dinner, when suddenly you hear hundreds if not thousands of those going off at the same time, non stop for hours. Would be more horrifying than you could possibly imagine.

The sound is nuts, I've been under that thing when it lit up tree lines and houses next to us. You can hear the impacts before the sound of the gun. The gun sounds like a ripping saw tearing through cloth. It's funny, because War is supposed to be bad and evil, but it's an awe-inspiring to moment to see the intricate machinery used in war. The sounds and sights sometimes are magnificient, but at the same time you realize that they are used to kill other people as fast and effeciently as possible. Really makes me feel kind of insignificant, knowing one of those could end my life or someone else's in a heartbeat.

The sound is actually the air brake, to keep the pilot having control over the plane while going into a near vertical dive.

It's actually the two small propellers on the wheel pants. Don't know how they were activated though, windspeed aside.

No, it's a siren attached to the plane specifically made just to induce fear into the targets. It was called the "Jericho Trumpet".

[B]The Worst Beating in Boxing History[/B]
On July 4, 1919, Jack Dempsey, the street fighting, roughneck challenger (The Manassa Mauler), met with the current world heavyweight champion, Jess Willard (The Great White Hope), to compete for the belt. Jack Dempsey was seen as the underdog in this fight and many people thought he wouldn't even last a round with big Jess. Infact, Jess Willard actually made Dempsey sign a form that would not leave Jess accountable if he Killed Jack in the ring.
From the starting bell, The worst beating in boxing's history starts. Dempsey is immediately the aggressor of the fight. Dempsey's fast hands and tremendous punching power made all the difference, sending Willard down an amazing seven times in the opening three minutes. He knocked out several of Willard's teeth, cracked his ribs and his skull, slashed his face to ribbons, and shattered his jaw and nose. Infact, since Dempsey's punching power was on the brink of unbelieveable, it left many people, including promoter Tex Rickard, thinking Dempsey had loaded his gloves.
Dempsey went on to retire with a record of 65 wins, 51 knockouts, 6 loses, 11 draws and 1 no contest.

Friend of mine, I play ARMA2 with, was in the Royal Engineers during the first Gulf War and he actually was tasked with clearing some wrecks off the road and stuff like that. He said the smell saturated everything he wore and he never got the smell out and ended up binning his fatigues two days later. He also found a crate of cyanide gas-grenades which he tested - before realising what they were.

How did he test them? Hey a grenade I'll throw it somewhere! Whut?

I don't know if what i'm gonna show you guyz shooked the world... but I think i'll always remember it.
On 21st september 2001, a chemical plant based based in Toulouse - France (south-west) blew up. The bang was felt at 80 km from the plant. The detonation killed 31 persons and injured 2500 . The explosion made a huge hole into the ground, like 40 meters wide - 6 meters deep.
In fact, it was 10 days after the events in America... everybody freaked out because people thought it was Al-Quaida once again. But it was just an accident...

The Boston Molasses Disaster (1919)
[i]The disaster occurred at the Purity Distilling Company facility on January 15, 1919. The temperature had risen above 40˚ F (4.4˚ C), climbing rapidly from the frigid temperatures of the preceding days. At the time, molasses was the standard sweetener in the United States. Molasses can also be fermented to produce rum and ethyl alcohol, the active ingredient in other alcoholic beverages and a key component in the manufacturing of munitions at the time. The stored molasses was awaiting transfer to the Purity plant situated between Willow Street and what is now named Evereteze Way, in Cambridge.
Near Keany Square, at 529 Commercial Street, a huge molasses tank 50 ft (15 m) tall, 90 ft (27 m) in diameter and containing as much as 2,300,000 US gal (8,700 m3) collapsed. Witnesses stated that as it collapsed, there was a loud rumbling sound, like a machine gun as the rivets shot out of the tank, and that the ground shook as if a train were passing by.
Damage to the Boston Elevated Railway due to the flood
The collapse unleashed an immense wave of molasses between 8 and 15 ft (2.5 and 4.5 m) high, moving at 35 mph (56 km/h), and exerting a pressure of 2 ton/ft² (200 kPa).[6] The molasses wave was of sufficient force to damage the girders of the adjacent Boston Elevated Railway's Atlantic Avenue structure and tip a railroad car momentarily off the tracks. Nearby, buildings were swept off their foundations and crushed. Several blocks were flooded to a depth of 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm).[/i]
