The Utah Department of Transportation was doing its regular avalanche prevention program which entails firing a howitzer to set off a snowslide before it gets dangerous. But is the cure worse than the problem it's curing? One of the howitzer shells overshot the mountain, and landed in a Provo Valley family's back yard. Fortunately no one was outside when the round detonated. According to the DOT, the rounds are to be fired using 5 bags of powder, and all were except for one, which utilized 7 bags of powder, causing the trajectory to change. I tell ya, if it had been my back yard, the trajectory they would be worried about wouldn't be the gun, it would be the trajectory of my boot to their butts. At least they admit they made a mistake. Something that's rarely heard these days.
