Hazards to airliners!

 

 

I kinda figured that might happen.

Essentially I wondered if they had any liability for possible death or damage, or if they were immune somehow. 

We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

Regardless of the airliner thing, it's normal for Starship to be paused after an issue. It's happened every time. 

I doubt that Space X would have continued operations until they figured out what went wrong, regardless of the FAA stepping in.

I loved the 21st Century CorpSpeak description of what happened :

"rapid unscheduled disassembly

Back in my day we'd have said it blew the 'hell' up.

Which makes me wonder if there is such a thing as a rapid scheduled disassembly?

Yes, when the flight termination system is activated. 😀

Good!  It will give the creatures in the wildlife refuge next door a bit of a rest.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

Actually, it looks like there won't be much of a delay. It's SpaceX who are conducting the mishap investigation, as per the FAA request, and they pretty much already know the cause and remedy.
