@OzmaOfOz2016@FirearmsPB@theintern3tguy Nothing fell off. Looks like a bird strike during takeoff. Bird damaged the slat and dented the wing. The issue is describing it as some sort of design flaw or inspection issue. It was minor damage. The wing isn't "coming apart" as it's not the wing. Wing was fine. Relax.
@DrChrisParry The UK is solid. Not sure about the rest of NATO.
Just remember Italy and the Achille Lauro hijackers. US Navy intercepted the hijackers plane and diverted plane to Italy. Italy feared terrorists more than US and threatened US troops unless plane was allowed to leave. NATO
@Amer1can_Barbie Not until you make "balogna rollups" as a sophisticated desert for them. That's a slice of bologna with either ketchup or honey mustard rolled up and held with a toothpick.
@DrChrisParry It's worse. The alignment is left vs right w/ personal worship/hatred. SA isn't much different that Labour party. They oppose Israel b/c Netanyahu is PM, not because of any love for Palestinians.
@stavridisj If we tie ourselves up too deeply in that, Taiwan will fall or it will be a world war. It's an extremely difficult calculus to both commit and keep reserve.
@3YearLetterman Our Greatest President. Crossed the Delaware to lead the charge on the beaches of Normandy. It was the greatest Cold War victory over the Russians since Bonaparte. USA! USA!
@NavyStrang It's the "rough stretch" where no one has been injured. Even the cell phones survived the fall from 16,000 feet.
It's a testament to how ridiculously safe commercial aviation is.
@Buddyhead@TSHamiltonAstro @LudwigvonMercer Capitalism produces obese homeless people. Communists had to invent non-existent things to explain why even the homeless are wealthy in capitalist societies. "Obese poor people have food insecurity" said no rational person ever.
