[TheForge] RE: Quesiton about a weird event

[robert hensarling]

Could be related to the crop circles guys.  I know metal does strange stuff.
I collect (well, I used to collect, now I just sell) old antique engines,
and some of the stuff I'd run across was just plain strange.  Crankshafts
separated cleanly on either side of the journals, etc.  Of course the metal
in the teen's and twenties may not have been up to par with military specs
of the 40's.

choppers (chinooks or CH-46)  there is a timing shaft runing between the two
props. One of the crew told me that while in flight it was possible that
just touching the shaft with a piece of metal or some thing would cut it
allmost instantly, like being on a laithe.  sounds like with the heat build
up and the perfect cut some thing similar may have happened.  just my guess.
