Maybe someone was having a wedding and it was deflected off-course by its precision wedding-bombing computers.

I don't know what the big issue is with B52 accuracy anyway. These things were meant to drop the H-bomb. Dropping one within 50km of your target is generally good enough. :-P

Eurofighter 2000 seems like a false economy to me. F16 and MiG 29 designs might be inferior, but they're not that inferior. If for the price of buying and maintaining 10 eurofighters, your enemy can buy and run 30 Mig29s for the same price, you're pretty stuffed.
