Roger That: Congress seeks damages from fire to aircraft caused by loose
nut
Air Force wants defense contractor to pay $62 million
A lawmaker is pressing the Air Force to make L-3 Communications Holdings Inc. pay as much as $62 million in damages from an aircraft fire that investigators linked to a loose nut that company maintenance workers failed to tighten in the plane's oxygen system, according to Stars and Stripes.
The rear cabin fire on an RC-135 Rivet Joint intelligence aircraft during takeoff on April 30 at Offut Air Force Base in Nebraska aborted the training mission, risking the lives of 27 personnel. A picture in the official Air Force report on its accident investigation showed "a dark hole burnt through the center of the aircraft," according to the lawmaker, Representative Jackie Speier of California.
