Mom Finds Bullet in Baby's Diaper

Marksmant002. we all know what you're saying. Your racism astounds me. The skin color of the people in that church have no bearing whatsoever on this article. I imagine a great deal of people, as uncultured as yourself, have jumped to the assumption that the predominant members are African-American, but it may just be the opposite. Consider this: in our society, it is a "norm" to fire a salute at funerals, memorials, etc. Is it so terrible to fire a salute to ring in the New Year? Perhaps what you deem socially unacceptable in your radical mind is in fact a very appropriate way to ring in the new year.

Perhaps you should also consider that in a tiny, predominantly Swiss town in Ohio, where I attend church, they do indeed fire a salute on major holidays.

Rolinda : You are right about the picture. Bethany Sanders does not seem to be a firearms expert. However, go to the link in the second paragraph. You will see a photo of the actual bullet. It definetly is a bullet that has been fired. You can see the lands and groves clearly. also, the bullet appears to be of "wadcutter" design.

No, that is not the bullet from the story. It is simply a stock photo.

I have to agree that something sure seems amiss about this story. I'll bet when all is said and done, that this bullet did NOT just appear in the baby's diaper from mid-air. Now what does seem very plausible is that wherever the Mother laid the baby down to change, either in their home or another place, that a bullet was say on a sofa and it stuck to the baby's bottom and the parent did not seen it on the baby's butt and just slipped the diaper under and fastened it. Then when the baby was moved and carried to Church etc, the bullet somehow moved to an area to cause discomfort. I say there is more to this than meets the eye and that it was NOT a stray bullet from mid air.

well if you watched the video youd notice that the bullet was one fired from a gun.. the picture above is just that a picture, but theres a clip which shows what was found...

Lol that's funny! I actually did laugh out loud.

If that bullet came through the roof, it was fired from up there.Speed of a falling object is less than 125 mph ,as in a bullet being fired up in the air and falling to earth. the slowest bullet i know of has a speed of about 700 mph at the exit of the gun. a bullet traveling at 125 mph could not penetrate the roof .. why tell such a lie in the first place?

Okay, it is not only possible, it happens all the time! Just ask Martin Luther King/Drew Hospital in Los Angeles.

A 30 caliber bullet will penetrate the skin at a velocity of 124 feet per second, or, 84 miles per hour. The speed of a falling object is dependant on the object's mass and wind resistance. It's called terminal velocity and for the same 30 cal. bullet, terminal velocity is about 300 feet per second, or, 204 miles per hour. A human tops out at 250ft/s or 170 mls/hr.

Either is plenty to crash through a roof. Also, all this assumes a perfectly vertical trajectory. Reality is, most of these bullets will be fired with some horizontal component to their trajectory, thereby increasing the impact velocity.

The baby is lucky it's not dead because some idiot wanted to hear a loud noise!
