Towns/Cities?
Answers:
Not a town or city, but a place.
The RAF Bombing range on the beach at Donna Nook.
It's an amazing place. Sit on the sand-dunes by the beach any weekday and you can watch jets from all NATO countries flying in and dropping bombs onto the targets located on the beach.
I was in the RAF at the time, and we were helping out one day. Two or three times a day, a crew have to go out onto the range in-between the targets and collect all the spent cannon-rounds and shells. If these build up, they could cause a dangerous or deadly riccochet.
While this is being done, the Air Traffic Controllers suspend all flying on the range, so that no-one gets hurt or killed.
Well, while we were out on the beach, beside the main targets, collecting in the spent lead, we spotted 2 aircraft in the distance circling round as if preparing an attck run on the range.
As they got closer and louder, we recognised them as 2 American F15's, and they were definitely lining up for an attack run on our location.
We radio'd Air Traffic Control, who told us they weren't schedulled for any F-15's and they certainly didn't have permission to be there.
So the F-15's closed in until they were almost overhead, then rolled over to an inverted position to get a final visual lock on their targets, before dropping into a screaming dive, directly on our position.
That was the single most terrifying moment of my life so far.
I genuinely thought my life was about to end there on that cold damp beach.
Luckily, they must have spotted us on the sand beside the target at the last moment before they opened fire, because they broke off the attack and flew away. They didn't come back.
F-15's look terrifying and war-like at the best of times, but when one is flying straight towards you in an attacking dive, with swirls of air vapour coming off it's wing-tips, the engines screaming like a banshee, and it's cannons about to unleash steel death at the target you're stood beside, they become a million times more scary.
New underpants anybody?

What a strange question. What made you ask it. Mine was sitting in an aeroplane waiting to make my first parachute jump. It was frightening at the time but turned out to be the first of over 1000 jumps as it was brilliant at the same time
the place where I fear for my life is downtown Detroit Mi. The empty bulidings make it feel like a ghost town.
