Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Most people steer clear of tornadoes, but Gary C. Smith wants to get as close as he can to one. The Arizona inventor, who has an office in Las Vegas, wants to extinguish a tornado using a 150-pound bomb flown into the full force of a twister with a remote-controlled helicopter.
