This is the maximum load that we would ever expect to see in service.


Unless something happens that you didn't expect.

which is why they test it to destruction at 150%. Looks pretty spectacular when it breaks.

Didn't those cold-hearted meanies burn down the White House at one point?? Shhhh dont provoke them, we'll have another burned out white house and bagged milk.

very cool vid BTW. The wing failed at 150% max load and it failed exactly where they had anticipated. Pretty impressive really. now that they know how, when, and where they can make it even safer.

Damn right.

And the fact I don't have a country to lead. SOMEBODY with "more political experience" was voted into office as the Prime Minister of Canada. APPARENTLY "talkbass moderator for a month" doesn't count as experience in the government.


In the meantime. off to beerboggan.

Ehh you were but British serfs in the larger campaign. Canada wasn't a nation yet. Plus, I'm not 100% sure there were any British troops from Canadian lands that were involved in the burning.
