There is a cover over the switch that is tied down with soft safety wire. You must pull on the wire hard enough to break it, lift the cover, then throw the toggle to jettison the tanks.
The wire was broken and the cover up when we looked in the cockpit.
The official report? "Malfunctioning electrical circuit."
No matter how big the turd, some peoples chit just does not stink.

In reading Assyrian history, (Long before Muhammad), I learned that a common tactic, after raiding a village, was to behead all of the adults and hang their heads from trees, or stick them on pikes at the village gates. The children were commonly doused in oil and burned alive for entertainment.
Looks like nothing anyone has done in the intervening millennia has changed that.
What makes you think we're going to?

Let's not get involved and let the cancer spread. Don't worry the disease will make its way to the US and kill lots of Americans before you wake up. No one wants war, and no one wants to see military loses on foreign soil but ignorance here has bigger consequences.

Yes another time in history and throughout history. The fact is that this is the belief of the Muslim faith from the beginning of Ala. When the Muslims gained more and more numbers and power they taxed the Jews and killed the Christians. They gave them the option to convert at the time also.
So they are doing what their teachings tell them to for 3000 years.

Your right Dave. I'll get back in line, make sure I put my blinders back on and drink some pepto to help with the upset stomach.

This is not being "world police" Dave. It's about it not being OK to cut off little kid's heads and putting them on sticks on playgrounds as a warning to infidels. Pretty sure I read that there was regret not stepping in earlier in WW2, what's the difference here?

Funny I was going to equate Dave to the ingnorate people before WWII that did not care about what Hitler was doing.

Beheading, some might be interested: I read a very old book on famous people in English history years ago. While telling the story of the 'Great White Pasha', the Mullahs finally got to him, and 'they beheaded him, as is their way'. Nothing new.

Gee I thought the Muslim faith was kind and loving to all.

History is also not kind to the Christian Conquistadors.
