FedEx Bombs California
(Danville, California) No one was injured, but many people called police to complain when airplane parts fell from the sky in several residential neighborhoods. From the
ContraCostaTimes:
Airplane pieces fell from the sky over Danville Monday night, surprising residents and FedEx and causing damages to at least one house, but injuring no one.
FedEx spokeswoman Sally Davenport said this morning the flight from Oakland landed safely as scheduled in Dallas-Fort Worth with two pilots and an assortment of packages aboard.
Officials with the Federal Aviation Administration said three pieces came off the MD11 jet.
A FedEx spokesman called the incident highly unusual and plans to be in contact with homeowners in the area about the debris.
So, despite missing some parts, including one that was about 10 feet long, the plane flew all the way to Dallas and landed safely. And, inexplicably, the pilots didn't know that their plane was falling apart. According to FAA spokesman Donn Walker, the parts came from an engine thrust reverser.
Maybe I'm being overly critical, but the fact that the pilots didn't know they had a problem is somewhat troubling. It begs the question of just how much of the plane has to become dismantled in flight to achieve the threshold for pilot awareness. Is it okay for five percent of the plane to fall from the sky without pilot knowledge? Ten percent? Twenty?

If you look at WWII pictures of returning B17's, you'll see planes landing safely with 90% of the rudder shot off, major structural pieces of the wing missing, several of the engines not running, etc. and so forth. Modern aircraft are intentionally over-designed such that they can continue to fly safely even with some amount of damamge (after all, they can't just pull over and call AAA).
The corollary would be you driving down the freeway, unaware that the reverse gears were stripped until you actually stopped and tried to back up. It's not so much the pilots I'm worried about as the maintenance crews that are supposed to check the plane between flights.

Reverse thrusters are only used after touch down and all tyres have made contact with the runway, or during an emergancy and you have to abort the takeoff.
It is not uncommon for a trailing edge to get ripped off and the pilot not even know it because of the force at which an actuator (along with force of air flow) will sever off a part from the plane.
Parts fall off of aircraft, its a fact of life ... most of the flying population doesnt even know because 99.99% of those items were not mission critical or would even cause any situation to develop into a catastrauphic in-flight situation.
you dont even want to tell the flying public about the number of incidents that occur national evey year from the following sitations that could just as easily bring a plane out of the sky:
Bird Impacts, Storms (to include lightning, and hail), wind sheers, turbulance. Any one of these items could pull plane parts off in a heartbeat.
The worst thing that the average passanger will most probably ever get during their whole life will be bad food, fat passengers, and cramped knees.

Salamander,
Don't forget the flu or cold passed on by other passangers.
I really hated to do it, but when I went to pick up my fiancee from
Warsaw, I had a very bad flu. But had I not shown up at the U.S.
Embassy, there would of been a good chance my then fiancee (now wife)
would of not received her visa. So I had to travel to Warsaw and
back to Dallas, blessing everyone in coach with my flu. When we
took off, I was the only one coughing and suffering from the flu.
When we landed, about 1/5th of the people in the plane was. Funny
thing is my wife who sat beside me the whole way never got sick.

Question for Butch: Why on earth did you want to go to Poland? There's nothing to see or do there, unless you're into cheap box-like cars, WW2-museums, churches or Russian mafia and prostitution.

Finn,
No I mailed order her out of Ukraine, but
they said they could only deliver as far as Warsaw. (The US embassy in Ukraine is to small, so fiancee visas go thru Warsaw.)

Blog Sabbath Caption Winners (UPDATED)
Is it just the pinkeye talking or does that photo seem just a little more gay on the second posting? Anyway, thanks to all for cheering me up in an otherwise dismal week.
See-Dub: While North Korea may soon test a nuclear warhead, White House sources reported, their manual delivery systems remain primitive and easily blocked.
Carlos: Starving N. Korean hordes fight desperately for the last remaining food aid donated by the U.S.A.
Graeme: In this rare photo, North Korean military personnel attempt to split Uranium - 235 atoms to initate a fission reaction during an above ground test of the country's first nuclear weapon. The IAEA has since prohibited the exportation of Red Bull to North Korea in an attempt to stop its nuclear weapons programme.
UPDATE: D'oh! I never announced last week's winners from the Blog Sabbath Caption Contest: Worship Me Edition. Sorry.
Amicus Curae: No, honestly, who called for the proctologist?
Lookitup: ...and suddenly George Lucas realizes to his embarrassment that this indeed was NOT Star Wars convention. Quickly he consults the convention map and realizes that this is the Ostrich Impersonators Convention in the next hall over.
Buckley F. Williams gets the most offensive, yet funny award: And remember, whoever finds my Barry Manilow tie clip gets a sturdy goat and a one month supply of chick peas.

Have you tried getting a really hot washrag and resting it over your eye(s). Just run hot water(really hot) on the washrag and fold it up. Carefully hold on your eye until it cools off the refold to find another warm spot. Might help you get over it faster along with the eye drops or salve from the Dr. This has helped me in the past. Get better soon.

Oh one other thing. We had guy in the office one time with pinkeye. It just would not clear up. Dr sent him on to the the opthamologist (spelling?).
Turns out it was a virus not a bacteria. Not very common though. They put some kind of drops in his eye to diagnose it. Not sure how they treated it. If that don't start to clear up in another day or two you might want to call the Dr. back. I usually start getting better on about the second day after starting the medication. Change or wash your pillowcase daily until you are better as well. Ugh, I sound like my grandmother.

You guys have nothing on me: I was chopping jalapenos for a salsa once...forgot to wash my hands before taking a piss (all the coronas I was drinkin') and my stuff caught on fire. I panicked and jumped in the shower, which only spread it around. I remembered that dairy products help, so this leads to me screaming in pain as I'm pouring a gallon of milk on my dick in the tub just as my girlfriend walks back in from the store...yup. Top that.

This is my first time to participate in this, im an arab sunei Iraqi and now am living in dubai but i used to live in abbadan in iraq, i just want to say to all arabs just leave us alone. our people were killed by thousands and thousands by the fucker saddam and no one of you have ever done or even said anything and now you love us soo much and wants what good for us!!! the picture is clear the arabs have a black cloud covering their eyes they cant c the right from wrong they call his two pussies= his sons shohadaa they say they were killed for good cause. thats the mentality that youre dealing with (if U say the sky is blue they'll say no its red) thats why we did not move even one step for the last hundred year im an arab and ashamed to say this but this is the truth,leave islam out of this mess because its the only good thing that is left in our region. All those who says that they represent Islam they are not they only represent themselves. And i was the happiest man on earth when president Bush was re elected im saying again and again for all arabs and dump extreemest who made all the world hate the name of Islam because of their act stop this, and start building ure country rather than thinking of killing all the time. last thing i wanna say is that those people who R shown in the media covering their faces and calling themselves jehadyeen are either arabs who never knew what really is happening inside iraq for the last 20 years or some ex iraqi militant especially who call themselves fedaayee sadam (army of sadam) who used to have all the power before at the time of his regime and now they've lost everything. We the iraqis know those assholes who i swear to god feal fun when they kill someone and thats not a joke because they were like this from an early age. fainally i say again for all arabs mind Ure own business.

Never heard of any illness like pink eye here on the other side of the Atlantic ocean. What's it like? Well, eyes go pink I guess, but other symptoms?

A finn : Pink eye comes from cows or somtimes just from getting dirt in your eye. Yep its pink. It itches and when you get up you have a lot of goop in your eye. Its an infection of the tear ducts. Eye drops or a salve is required to cure it. Bet Rusty got it when he had to pick up his young un from school.
I went to the gas station once and put some gas in a gallon milk jug for the mower. My jug was leaking a bit near the top. Not wanting to drip gas on the nice carpet in the car I let the drips fall on my leg while I held the jug on the way home. Only had about 2 miles 4 or 5 minutes till I got home. First minute OK. Next four very long. Inside of right leg & scrotum exposed to gasoline. I made a trip to the shower very much like steven there except it was my mom asking me what the hell I had done. Had to be 20 years ago and I I'll never forget that lesson learned.
Mr Ali. Best of luck to you and your people. You are a credit them. A thinking arab, neat.

Bleg for Help: Guest Posters/Collaborators Needed
With finals and such I'm finding I have less and less time to blog. This summer things look worse. I'm just about finished with a book length manuscript, but I've been putting it off for awhile.
The truth is, I love blogging. More people read The Jawa Report in a day then will ever read all of my academic work combined. So, I've let my academic research slide a bit of late. I need to get back to it.
Any one out there who would like to contribute to The Jawa Report on a regular basis or who would just be interested in guest posting over the summer let me know by e-mailing me at mypetjawa-at-gmail.com.

What would really spice this blog up is more sex posting. Embrace the hot lesbo star wars chick pundit in you. Of course, you'd have to dress all the posts up as serious news coverage and put some sort of terrorism or islamic bent to it but it could be done. I just might know somebody who could help you in that department.

Aye, matey! If'n ye are wanting a Privateers bent (duly appointed by Emperor Misha for the Empire). Yer book learnin' is more important than ye may think, so keep thinkin' about it. My crew is at yer service! Hoist the Jolly Roger and standby for heavy rolls as the ship comes about.

Where do I sign up? I'll be glad to contribute, but can't guarantee any regularity of posting, though it shouldn't be too bad.

I'll do it Rusty.

So that was George Michael's partner's name! All this time I thought it was something Garfunkel.

Greg is taking advantage of the fact that there are no consequences for his filthy mouth, rank cowardice and room temperature IQ.
