Not the right one, Thrawn.  I knew Scott Manning pretty well, we both started work on our BD-5s about the same time.  Really sad, his wife and friends were watching him rehearse his routine  

The one Cav is thinking about is this one

Sad indeed.

The BD5 has always been known as a death trap.

Sadly, his wife and kids were in the audience watching him rehearse, Im told.

Our BD-5 Yahoogroup has been very very busy talking about it.  I just feel bad, he was a great guy, great family...
