And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The Zeppelin era peaked with Hindenburg. A mechanic checks an engine during a 1936 flight.
Imagine the flight engineer on a 747 on the way to Hawaii. Cap I'm going out and take a look at number one, fuel burn is exceptionally high. Just routine, don't be concerned.

ReplyDeleteIt is forgotten that those engines did not have any muffler systems on them, . . . so also it was super loud.
ReplyDeleteI’d rather confront a bank robber with a shotgun than go out there. If I remember correctly, those ships had a tendency to burn up.
