and yet, you'd still only get there TWICE as fastForce is based on the square of the velocity. For example a car at 60 mph doesn’t have twice the energy of car going 30 mph but 4 times the energy.

There were acdtualcasualties in at leassdt one case. People came across one that had come down but not ignited. It apparently did when they disturbed it I can't recall the details but one at least death.They tried to firebomb the Northwest, but the bombs weren't terribly effective. Although they were an early intercontinental weapon, they were rather crude, but rather creative. They were trying to set the northwestern forests on fire having heard about the large forest fires in the Pacific Northwest. It is an interesting bit of history, some of it here;
