Saw something interesting on Discovery Wings.

They were doing a piece on the A10, and they showed a camera shot from
underneath the A10's wing during a trial bombing run. Three 500lb bombs
were ejected off of the rack, and then the rack itself was ejected. When
the rack went, it yawed almost to the point of being parallel to the wing's
leading edge, and struck the inboard bomb rack (still loaded with
ordinance!) so hard that the entire rack shook pretty violently.

Is this a big problem with MERs on modern fighters? Was it endemic to the
A10? If so, how was it remedied? Or are the munitions and the MER they
hang on tough enough to stand such a love tap?
