B-29 Tragedy.

[Romanator21]

I think they left the engines sink with the plane. I don't think they bothered to salvage anything.

Absolutely disastrous. I hope he doesn't take on any more "restoration" projects as he said he would.

What a flock of amateurs... Saw this a few years ago on TV and it makes me sick to my stomach every time i watch it. I have nothing but utter disgust for him and his team. It could have been easily avoided, but with such ignorance i suppose there was only one outcome. Poor ol' plane...

That last sentence scared the sh1t out of me too.

Just imagine what would have happened if they indeed managed to take off - they would have lost a whole wing before the first turn...

Sometimes my friend, ppl on both sides have the same idea, the same time.
Think of the TA183 and the Mig15 f.i.

Terrible example They can't even be compared.

I prefer to compare the T-144 and the Concorde, or the Buran and any one of our shuttles.

And Xylon: B-29 first flew in September 1942, the Me-264 flew in December of that year. So, who's copying who?

Cheers mate.

But how many ppl did, just because they look "somewhat the same"?


The T144 was based on stolen blueprints (the Kfir too btw).
Buran well, lol.

That's a coincidence, I just finished a book about warbird recovery, Hunting Warbirds by Karl Hoffman, that focused on the Kee Bird, apparently it caught fire because of a jerry rigged APU

That's what they said in the vid too.

But they "FIXED IT", right?

I wouldn't even let them fix my bicycle.

And they didn't even have the nerve to put the stuff at least back over solid soil, for future scavengers. F-F-Faces.

Do you ever get tired of trolling?
