I saw the clip on the boob tube whereas Boeing is using carbon fiber wings on the 'dream machine plain'. Yet when testing the wings for flex.. seems the carbon fibers started to separate. So.. they band-aided the problem and put titanium ribs over the carbon. As I understood it.. to get an OK for the flex test. Makes me wanna go out and buy a bushel load of tickets on that 'plain'.

Now the batteries ok'd are catching fire... who in the f ok'd those? Seems to me any sound pro-toe-calls per building safe 'plains' went out the window in hopes of rescuing Boeing.

I know.. I no.. jobs and all that rat. $$ has to be served. But serving that worthless paper means allot of actual living.. will die. Too many today view that as 'business as usual'.

Carbon forks are just that.. something for racers... a part with very limited service life. Branded names being sold with actual liability being covered via the concern.. I guess I can understand some mounting those. Otherwise I'd rather ride in four lanes of heavy traffic.. in an ice storm.. with slicks. At least that way I'd see who ran me over.
