In any event the consensus seems to be that this is the first anyone
within the KR community has heard of a spar failure in the center
section. So far that makes it an anomaly, with no indication of any sort
of trend. It's been said that "a pilot can pull the wings off any
airplane that's ever been built" - possibly not 100% true, but only
partly humorous. Interested to find out what the final word is on the
cause of the failure, including answers to questions such as those
stated by Larry.

In reference to Dr Feng's safety concerns here is a lot to consider.
Keep in mind like Larry said that this is the first known wing
failure of a KR in 30 years.

For investigative purposes we're fortunate that the failed component
landed separate from the crash site. We should be able to separate
component failure from crash damage. Questions I hope will be answered.
