It's
really not good for my blood pressure whenever someone repeats the urban
legend about the jealous girlfriend and the chainsaw.



DSSS Dave


Do you guys get the MythBusters program over there ?
they did a follow-up on this one.. and their results match perfectly..




We do indeed - it's produced by an Australian company for the Discovery
network.


I actually saw that episode and Jamie proved that it was _plausible_ to cut
through a fuselage with a chainsaw - AIR his chainsaw cuts were much more
uniform than Adam's. That's a fair distance away from proving that's
what actually happened.



I'm not sure what "DSSS" means, but I assume it's an abbreviation for "Keep
taking the tablets"


This incident happened about 35km from my home and I posted the original
pics, local news footage and newspaper clippings (including this one), on
the same day they appeared in my local fish wrapper.

Yet, on this very forum, the same legend still surfaces - _repeatedly_ -
every few months, as someone else finds the picture and posts it with the
silly, made-up story.

It's not the first time this type of accident has happened. Prop damage is
distinctive and you'd imagine that those interested in aviation would
recognise Occam's razor marks.


That vein is popping out again, time for another tablet.
