some excerpts..
A nearly 200-pound piece of metal broke off an engine of a Northwest Airlines jet Saturday afternoon and landed in an Inver Grove Heights field, about 100 yards from a home.
Since 1997, some 20 service difficulty reports about the plane — registration number N233NW — have been filed with the FAA. A dozen involved corrosion that was found in various parts of the plane and repaired during the course of regular maintenance checks.
"We have not overhauled our DC10s in years," said local union President Ted Ludwig. "We don't do anything to them any more. … I can't say outsourcing caused this. But I can say that we don't maintain these aircraft."
..........
Since 1997 this plane has had problems.
I'll bet this will cause a rush of people to book Northwest.
Terrorists boarding , and parts falling off. At least a Google search shows this is being reported nationwide.
Cute.
