This is a Kaiten, a manned torpedo used by the Japanese Navy. Yep you read that right, a person actually sat inside of this; it was also known as a suicide submarine. The person inside would attempt to steer it into the enemy vessel. They are responsible for the death of around 187 American soldiers between November of 1944 - July of 1945.

I was wondering why the turret didn't show up in the diagram, then realized it was behind it on something else.

If you miss the target and don't sss-plode, do your shipmates pick you up?

Disgraced maybe, it was a suicide mission, they've said their goodbyes.

I'd probably follow it, and ask if I can get a private tour after my "traumatic experience" on the highway

Only cool because it was caught on tape.

From another source:

Actually a ruptured gas line caused the home to explode after that motorist's brakes gave out and he crashed into the dwelling. Luckily "Three occupants and two officers were injured in the explosion, but the police department says they are “stable and expected to recover.”
