The biggest question there is why didn't they inspect it? Seems very bizarre, since that's what they did in the past.
All the KH-71s were busy mapping Iraq's oil fields and photographing Saddam's nose hairs.
Yeah, but most pilots, if they suspected an even semi-serious breach of their craft's integrity, *AND* had the ability to fairly safely send someone outside to have a looksee, wouldn't hesitate a moment before doing so. They've been delayed by weather in landing far longer than that would take. -- Harmon Seaver CyberShamanix http://www.cybershamanix.com
