OT..Re2: [at-l] Gun story/MachineGuns

[freighttrain7@home.com (Abe)]

There was a young boy who was killd at a local airshow some years back... he
pulld the final lever or switch needed for ejection as he was sitting in one
of the jets... ( you know how they let the public sit in the pilots seats in
many jets )     dont remember if he was the only one killed

I remember the news stating that there was a series of switches that all
needed to be set and that there was no way he could have figured it out on
his own. It was all the people before him randomly throwing switches in the
cockpit that armed the ejection seat

there has also been a few raceboats  that have flipped into the stands
killing people

at one time didnt a monster truck crash into the stands ontime at an indoor
event or a giant wheel fly into the stand?

Great Adventure 6 flags in NJ,  on holloween some years back, there was a
fire in the haunted house and something like 7 or 8 (cant remember) or more
teens died
