    More fighter jet problems. Just damn

    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    In a world of snowflakes,
    be the heat..

    As long as aircraft are built buy humans, and many times with government mandates to use the cheapest parts possible, unfortunate incidents like this are going to occur.

    Scary when you think this is what allowed us to beat the Russians to the moon.

    Reminds of the answer one of the original 7 astronauts said when a reporter asked how he felt sitting on the launch pad on top of a Saturn V rocket...

    He said (loosely quoted), "How would you feel is you were sitting on top of one of the biggest bombs ever created, in a capsule designed by the lowest bidder on the contract?"

    Gives one pause, doesn't it?....

    That reminds me of the scene in "Armageddon" with Bruce Willis where the Russian guy is pounding on some panel as they are trying to leave the asteroid. He's yelling the cheapest parts and all being made in Taiwan.
