[ExI] dark confession time

[spike at rainier66.com]

OK I know it is evil as all hell, but… I am among friends, all non-judgmental types I do sincerely hope.  My dark confession: I have aaaaalllllways wanted to see what would happen… if a wheel got loose somehow, a big one, like on a truck, kiting down a long straight hill for instance.

 

What happened at the local airport was something I never dreamed of in my darkest vision of destruction: a wheel falling off a goddam AIRPLANE!  On TAKEOFF!  That wheel got loose going faster than any truck tire would likely ever get to, on the steepest hill available.

 

To partially assuage my guilt for wanting to see this, I am truly TRULY glad… no one was injured or seriously killed when this happened.  Had there been injuries or serious fatalities, I would feel rotten as all get out.

 

Since no one was harmed, my regret is that there is no video of this marvelous event, the wheel hitting the ground on a murderous rampage:

Ja I know I am a total sicko for even wondering about it.  But I find this whole thing darkly amusing.  I can assure you, I had nossink to do with this failure, NOSSINK!
