re: #102 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

I suspect the Army keeps a lot of incidents quiet and only reports on what happens in places where they are witnessed by the public…

Not much of that, unless it is embarrassing in some personal way. Army accident reports are protected under the FOIA to the extent that the investigator’s ability to gather testimony is preserved.

When I was getting out in 1967 the guy in the next bed was due to follow in a few days. By the time I got back to New York, the photos of his Mustang were on the front page of the Daily News. He stopped at a red light. The M60 behind him didn’t.
