London 2012: Missiles may be placed at residential flats

The Ministry of Defence is considering placing surface-to-air missiles on residential flats during the Olympics.

An east London estate, where 700 people live, has received leaflets saying a "Higher Velocity Missile system" could be placed on a water tower.

I'm sorry, have I tumbled into Wonderland? Are they [LIFTED] serious?

I don't think we'd be the first country to consider this, it's probably quite a common consideration too.
