Do you think about brain tumors when you're on your cell phone . . |
|
Anyone know anyone who has gotten a brain tumor lately --- ?
Truthfully a woman in our town just died after having suddenly become ill a few years
ago --- from healthy, active person to surgery candidate, etc.
Of course, Jackie Kennedy had a tumor, didn't she, but --- aren't hair dyes suspected?
Are more Dems than Repugs getting brain tumors . . . ???
Aaarrrghhh....

1. i think about O-rings failing in some compression system in the airplane engine or to some fuel line |
|
connection sparking a chain reaction of the plane falling and crashing.
i always imagine this during landing or take off.

3. I, uh, actually know a lot more about TWA 800 than most people do. And here's the truth: |
|
It wasn't a missile, errant or not.
It was EXACTLY as reported. Misplaced and under-specified wiring that suffered an insulation failure because of inadequate engineering. Spark led to fire.
Sorry, tinfoilers, but you're going to have to trust me on this one. It was indeed a classic "accident waiting to happen."
And I know this because, well, it's part of my job to know.
Just like the Alaska Airlines horizontal-stabilizer failure, and the Boeing 737 rudder problems that led to the Colorado Springs and Pittsburgh crashes, among others. Engineering and/or maintenance failures, each and every one of them.
No conspiracy; sorry to disappoint you. Not in ANY of the above cases.

8. What "nasty?" I thought I was backing you up, there. But apparently you didn't |
|
get that...I was trying to reinforce your stance that "random fatal equipment failures" do indeed happen.
Ah, fuck it. Try to help people, and what do you get?

6. Well, I want a sweet roll . . . |
|
and sorry but there was a missile and red paint across three of the seats proves it ---
But "O" rings were a long sign of trouble on the Challenger --- and ignored.
Too much NASA stuff is privatized ---
$$$ but no accountability ---

4. I never think about it. |

If it's going to happen, it's going to happen.
