They should have used SuperGlue. As far as I know, that fellow is still hanging from the girder by his hardhat.

BigV, engineering is nowhere near as seat of the pants as it used to be. It's all computer model this and simulator that ... nobody wants to commit money on untested shit these days.

Now, of course, they probably weren't aeronautical engineers, just a couple of good ol' boys with a Pinto who bumbled onto half of a Cessna one day down the junkyard.

They were probably friends with the JATO unit guy.
