Tax dollars at work!"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003

That would save several thousand tax dollars and only risk several hundreds of millions of them."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic.

They sure had a lot of cameras to document it. I would go back and count, but the footage isn't very compelling.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

There were at least three separate runs; in one the truck skipped, another it tumbled, and a third time it just kerplunked.

It's called a 'dead load'... for testing the catapults that launch aircraft. they do this right in port - it is something to see, hear and feel. stand next to a plane ready to launch from a carrier catapult at full power and you can feel every bone in your body shaking. not sure what those are filled with, maybe just water.

Can they be retrieved and reused?“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

They can be weighed down to different weights to simulate launching different aircraft (waste of taxpayer dollars though that is. :P)The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present.
