Thats amazing but 30 minutes warning isn't gonna do our electronic and power grids much help, is it?

Reply to TIL that in WW2, a Marine Corps Corsair pilot used his propeller to chew off the tail of an enemy aircraft after his guns jammed, while under fire from the enemy plane's tailgunner. The enemy plane crashed but the Corsair pilot made it back to base, receiving the Navy Cross for his actions. by hipster_deckard
Corsairs were tough birds.

Yea the more I think about it, that would give enough time to safely land planes and do controlled shut downs of substations, Telcom, internet and maybe even let you adjust satellite orbits and/or evac the crew of the ISS if you were Johnny on the spot.
