Last March, 17 offshore oil workers & crew were killed when their Sikorsky
chopper fell hard into the Atlantic off Newfoundland.

The titanium studs that
held the gearbox oil filter in place failed, leading to a massive loss of oil
pressure.   Subsequent service bulletin for these machines had them change out
the titanium studs out for steel ones.   I thought titanium is stronger then
steel?

Hey, inquiring minds wanta know.

Thanks,

Bruce Simms
