It seems that the bombs found their mark but failed to go off.
According to Taiwanese media, all
four 2000lb LGBs missed their intended target. However CE.CN (China
media) gave ROC some face saying only 3 missed. 
The feighter was reportedly carrying hazadous material,out of
control and threatening nearby seaside town. So the military was
called in to assist.
Questions were raised why Navy was not involved. Some claim topedo
too expensive, while some military official says the target does
not emit sufficient acoustic signature for topedoes to home-in
(what the fish ?)
Later it was claimed due to nearby fishing vessles, no topedoes
were used.
How about clearing old weapon stocks ? I think it is one helluva PR
stunt that become a media wide laughing "stock" instead. 
Maybe their should hire some former U-boat commander for
consultantion..provided if there is still around
now.
