An off-duty FBI agent who investigators say accidentally fired a weapon that fell while he was dancing at a Denver bar, wounding another patron in the leg, was charged Tuesday with second-degree assault.

Chase Bishop, 29, turned himself in to the Denver Sheriff's Department earlier in the day and is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday.

DENVER -- The attorney for the man shot at a Denver bar over the weekend by a dancing FBI agent says the injury to his client's leg is much worse than first reported.

Attorney Frank Azar says the gunshot hit a main artery and his client could have bled to death. The owners of Mile High Spirits and Distillery say it was one of their quick-thinking security guards who took off his belt and applied a tourniquet to the victim’s leg.
"How many epic screw-ups in life start out with, ‘Hold my drink and watch this?’" Lane said. “And how many days does it take to review a videotape? You don't have to be Cecil B. Demille to dissect that film. Everybody can see it."

Wow......wonder if there is a gun control movement in Mexico.

Why isn't this on our tv news.
You think that's bad? What about no Coke or Pepsi.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexicans are among the biggest soda drinkers in the world, so residents of the southern city of Ciudad Altamirano were hit hard when first Coca-Cola then Pepsi closed their distribution centers amid drug gang extortion demands.

To paraphrase an old Saturday Night Live routine, it's "No Coke, no Pepsi" for the city in the steamy southern state of Guerrero.

"Soft drinks form a part of our diet, people drink them in their homes, so imagine when the two main distributors in the whole region practically leave," Guerrero state security spokesman Roberto Alvarez said Wednesday. "It's huge."

Granted the parents need to supervise kids but that hunk of junk is not worth $132,000.
Not just that ... if the piece had fallen on the kid, the artist would've probably faced a huge suit from the parents for failing to support the piece properly ... such is the irony of justice

Using the "AC to cool the intercoolers".

The car may be fast, but these guys didn't master thermodynamics.
Not really.

It's all about increasing power by understanding the thermodynamics of fuel combustion just like we do with a supercharger that generates more net power from combustion than it uses.

I'm not willing to do the math, but I'm pretty sure the power required to cool the intercooler is more than that created by the extra efficiency.

Unless they are "pre-cooling" the intercooler prior to the run.

It's not more efficient for X fuel overall it's more net power (Volumetric efficiency) for X+ fuel burned like an after-burner on a jet engine.
