Sarky, not snarky.
Human factors professional, with side interest in Dobcross looms, European train journeys, MG cars, and finding footpaths in Mid Wales. Occasionally dabbles in Anglican liturgy, although it's probably best not to ask.

It might not have included being attacked by bunker busting massive ordnance. I wonder if the Americans have conducted such an assessment of the possibilities and consequences of such an attack.
