Morning Snippy.

More proof that any job in the Military is potentially dangerous. The MT. HOOD disaster also shows that once hazaradous work becomes routine the chnaces for accidents goes up.

We have had the namesake of the MT HOOD come in as part of the Rose Festival Fleet every year. Last I heard she was decommissioned a few years back. :-(

Yes, I believe she is, rather was, the AE29 or 26 and she was decomissioned, they held a ceremony and had relatives of those lost on the AE-11 attend her decomissioning.
