Once is an accident and twice begins a trend.

Her husband Mike is a working acquaintance of mine. Just ran into him Monday and she worked with another friend of my wife's. Really sucks right now.

Back in the early 80's the company I worked for bought out a nice little operation that did NDT (non destructive testing) work on the RB211 Rolls-Royce jet engine....First stage compressor (the fan you looking at on the intake side) they were made of Titanium and so the blades intermeshed with the inverted pattern on the hub....called the Christmas Tree if you can imagine alternate up/down with slots intermeshing....

So I got to be head assembler on the project....Debbie was lead assembler on the circuit cards/electronics....I was on the machinery and guidance on the electronics......took us about 2-3 months to complete from about 3 vans full of part all stacked up.....

it was automated probes going over the edges of the metal on the blades, the following the interleaving 'tree' branches......used about 3 scopes to follow the machinery to make damn sure it did not screw up somehow, and the readings off the pulse field probes were stored on chart paper out of like a adding machine......

sold them for some 300 grand...... beats having a plane crash.....

Yawl old farts with any tech background maybe recall some crashes involving the RB 211 jet but I forget the maker of the airplanes I want to say McDonnel-Douglas....but I could be rong.....

I WONDER.......
