Chalk seaplane NTSB says both wings had craks

Just a theory, and I may be misremembering the footage. And of course,
I'm not a materials engineer, so my theories may be suspect in any case.

Man, knock me over with a feather! You have taken a _giant_ step, by
admitting that you could be wrong. bfg, ducking and running

I think so too, but beyond the insurance question, how many
passengers will there be? The insurance companies will look
at the odds and the inspections and rate the risk to their
money. Passengers will be worried about their safety
without really knowing about the facts. It will be a tough
sell for a while.

I haven't seen any good pictures of the wing and fuselage,
have you?
