Good Lord. . .what a story.

The munitions incident had to do with unauthorized tool being used to pull back some firring pin type of thing to clear a 30MM jam and the tool either broke or slipped, striking the round and the round torched off, hitting the ground about 700 feet in front of the barrel and ending up striking an SP bunker.

Yeah - got a lot of maintenance stories - stuff that I got to see - makes me leary of getting on a civilian jet. No problem getting on a military jet - we have a lot of checks and balances. But the civilian aircraft - that's another story.
