It might be an idea to get those auto reversing rudder actuators on
737's sorted out first, at least when a fuel tank goes bang you might
be incapacitated and know nothing about your impending death, when the
rudder goes tits up it's a long slow spiral with screaming engines and
lots of anguish followed by a rapid death with instant burial at
500mph. Big savings on coffin material though as usually you will fit
in a carrier bag.

Heh. Now as far as the sideways scarebus landing gear, I thought
was a great design. Now that they've got the beta testing done
they're gonna simply replace the front tire with a large magnesium
skid plate. Save on tire replacement costs don-tcha-know. They
have the pilots pretty well trained by now, just see how long they
can keep that front strut hovering off the runway....

But look on the bright side you could be stuck on terra firma and
dying due to lack of basic sanitation along with another few thousand
elsewhere on the planet. In basic terms it's TEN, yes TEN "September
11ths" EVERY day. 1001 1002 1003 dead 1001 1002 1003 dead - one
every three seconds but out of sight out of mind - just like the
****ed up 737 rudders.

Ah, just think of what could be done if the US spend SEVEN BILLION
DOLLARS A MONTH on that problem, worldwide? That's what the Iraq
war costs us.

That's a lot of wells and sewer systems.
