What caused this 6.9 million dollar disaster ????

a small aluminum nut designed to hold the fuel pipe fitting in place failed due to subsurface corrosion not visible to the naked eye.
That's right ! A failed ALUMINUM PART......sub surface corrosion no less
I guess they should have made the whole rocket out of steel.
I wonder how the extra weight would affect the rocket's performance...

I dunno, this video pretty much sums up this thread...
x2! Plus, we'd need to see a video of the crew cab getting airborne 10,000,000 times.
I have seen his crew cab live and in person and I was very impressed.

My dad told me about the Burb when he did the exhuast. I tried getting over there to see it before you came and got it, but wasn't able too. They said it was built very good. How did it do in Moab?

Ok I'll bite, what the hell is a monocoque?
Monocoque, from the French for single (mono) and shell (coque), is a construction technique that supports structural load by using an object's external skin as opposed to using an internal frame or truss that is then covered with a non-load-bearing skin. Monocoque construction was first widely used in aircraft in the 1930s.
Structural skin is another term for the same concept.
Unibody, or unitary construction, is a related construction technique for automobiles in which the body is integrated into a single unit with the chassis rather than having a separate body-on-frame. The welded "Unit Body" is the predominant automobile construction technology today.
