More stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Brother of Navy diver murdered in 1985 says "world is a better place with Nasrallah not in it."
- DoJ notified about possible faulty welds on subs, aircraft carriers at Newport News shipbuilding. Not sure if this will lead to a China-type loss of a sub or an example of too many regulations and welders just trying to circumvent them in non-critical areas.
Welding: A commenter elsewhere said sometimes work simply cannot be performed according to the book. I spent years on aircraft wondering if the engineers ever thought about how we were supposed to do some things. There are ALWAYS what I call design flaws where getting to places to do maintenance properly is impossible. NO EXCUSE for sloppy or inept work, but there are indeed things that cannot be done according to the book because an engineer had his head up and locked. Many a maintenance tech has wanted to get his hands around an engineer's neck.
ReplyDeleteBob thanks for that. Read the article and when I saw it was "non-critical" welds by BS detector went off and I thought maybe they were just doing it by common sense or by the way they were taught to properly weld something - not by archaic government regulations.
