But the sounds of struggle continued until there was another gunshot, then another in quick succession and Tony let out a loud bellow that fell away with an echoing Doppler effect.
Thank you for your succinct, informative explanation, Ann. I just heard a 9th grader totally get the answer to that one wrong last week at the science fair. They babbled on about radar and didn't get anywhere close to the truth. But I did just what the judges did, smiling and nodding as if their drivel made sense.
I must say, though, I've never heard the Doppler effect echo. When the Doppler effect takes place it's because the sound changes pitch as the object rushes past. But an echo takes place as the sound hits an object and bounces back. So you're saying the object making the sound went past, but the sound itself hit the side of the mine and echoed?
Bah! It's too confusing for me! I liked the part where Lois tears up when she realizes Clark will probably be shot first much better than the echoing Doppler part.
Also, while I'm in the mood for clarification, I've heard of the intensive care unit much more often than the critical care unit. Is it a different level of care? Or is it another name for the same thing?

who liked this part much better than it sounds like when you read the fdbk
