Randomly exploding fuel tanks, randomly disintegrating engines, suspect hull integrity, rudder and tail-plane actuator systems seething with murderous intent . . . . now I no have to longer exclaim: 'If you want to get me aboard one of those things you'll have to shoot me first!' and feel silly about it. Because, what about all those checks and balances, the pages upon pages of regulations and approved procedures, the persistent expert inspections, and the manufacturer's assurances? Well - what about them?
