Re: Low level loss of concentration

Actually no. The USMC pilots who caused the disaster were not killed. The first court martial acquitted the pilot and navigator. They were then court-martialed a second time for obstruction of justice and conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman (destroying a video tape). The pilot served four and a half months of a six month prison term. The navigator did not serve any prison time. Both were dismissed from the service.

Then septics wonder why they are disliked.
