    It’s just like when they say “1 person wounded”. Wounded might mean comatose for the rest of their lives, or without any limbs, or with horrible PTSD

    Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.

      I mean, sometimes the front falls off, but never the back.

        Well, there are a lot of these planes going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that US Air Force E-3Cs aren’t safe.

    I think this is quite alarmist. I’m sure they can buff that out.

      They’ll just attach the tail back to the remaining fuselage, it’s just gonna be a shorter plane, no big deal.
