A fuel tank fell off an F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jet from Eglin Air Force Base on Tuesday, landing in a residential neighborhood just shy of an elementary school outside of the Florida military base.
The base's 96th Test Wing confirmed to Military.com in an emailed statement that the incident occurred around 11 a.m. local time in Niceville, Florida, "within close proximity" to the installation. No one was injured or killed by the fuel tank's plummet to the ground.

Here's My Thoughts If You're Going To Play The Slots:
If You Put 10 Cents In A 5 Cent Slot & Win 50 Nickles, You Have $5.00
If You Play The Dollar Slots With $2.00, With The Same Results, You Have $50.00
And If You're Going For The Jack-Pot ~ The Highest Amount, You Have To Load
The Machine To The Maximum It'll Take, For A Bundle... To Win More You Must Play More.
And BTW You Can Lose Your Ass Faster Too.~ Both Are Optional And Are Possible, ~
