Department of Misleading Grammar

Posted on 10:30 by hony
This article title, "Laser Blasts Jeep From The Air" is a fine example of screwing up sentence ordering. The title, as written, implies that a Jeep was miraculously traveling through the air when a laser blasted it out of the sky.
The title should have been "Airborne Laser Blasts Jeep."

Honestly, after seeing the underwhelming footage, I would have preferred a story about flying Jeeps.
