I always enjoy these types of threads where the community chimes in to come up with a solution.

I’m reminded of a super thread that attempted to solve one of the space shuttle disasters. It was the one where a chunk of ice had broken off the airship on takeoff and punched a hole in the “webbing” where the wing meets the fuselage.

We kept pace with the publically released data, and beat NASA at their own game by guessing/hypothesizing as to what the cause was that brought down the shuttle before NASA ever made an official determination.

I might add that there was a freeper in west Texas that reported seeing the shuttle break up over west Texas about 10 minutes before the disaster broke on national news, and came to Free Republic and reported on what he/she had seen.

Haha - well, aside from getting to watch large scale dredging ops on the Ohio River not too far from here, I actually have a current problem with trying to get at sewage line exiting our house in what is not only a “weird” spot, but also a quite wet one, worse with spring rains every couple days. Working in the water and muck with a shovel alone is near impossible, so, I’m attacking the excavation and water / muck removal with a combination of a heavy duty utility pump, a good strong wet-dry shop vac, and, a hose with an attachment with a “jet” setting. If it gives me too much trouble I also have a pressure washer. And... plenty of old work clothes...

At least I’m not being shot at in WW1 trench warfare!
