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 (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,199972,00.html) 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...
