Crash and Burn

[serestriel]

So I am back from Maryland. Things didn't go nearly as well as hoped. To make a long story short right as we were starting to get to the point of doing some good experiments the airplane we had contracted developed mechanical problems and ended up crashing and burning. Luckily all 3 people on board got off safely before the fire really got going.

Bummer! Since it was a contracted plane, though, was it your group's test equipment that caused the problem or something you had no control over?

Get your tickets to come home for Christmas yet?

Was completely out of our control. It was a problem with the plane, not with our equipment.

I still need to buy my Christmas tickets. Plan on doing it today actually.

Too bad on the plane... hopefully the people you were showing the equipment off to realized it.
I'll be home from 12/23 until 1/7.

Glad you got home safely! It's too bad it sounds like the trip was a bust though.
