Percy Cummings, an interior designer from San Francisco, is being held without bail after the alleged incident, charged with sexually assaulting a Federal agent.

£4.2m is next to no funding for a national funding programme, and I'd suspect that this is precisely aimed at making people happy to distract them from vastly more important issues.

Oooof. Have those saucey buggers tricked me again?
Oh well, a life of naivety and stupidity is often a happy one.

I find this analysis by Madeleine Bunting very convincing.

Sad that a scapegoat is needed.

Not just Continental, but an individual at Continental.

sometimes it is down to one person though. I don't know the facts of the case but mechanic makes mistake -> disaster is perfectly possible and plausible.

'Mr Taylor should not have used titanium parts to make repairs on the DC-10 because the metal was known to be too dangerous for aeroplane tyres, and he should have used a softer metal, aluminium, instead, the court found'

I thought all jet engines had titanium components? (turbine blades)

I might be wrong.

Regulations might state Ti is ok for X application but not for Y, just because Ti is used from some compents does not mean it is ok for the repair he did.. Your Quote seems to put him fairly at fault, but like I said I don't know the case nor do I know airline regulations.

"Nearby is Sharks Bay, Sharm's newest – and smallest – neighbourhood. Visitors are assured there are no sharks."

No.
Of course there aren't any sharks in Shark Bay.

That would be silly.
