Chalk seaplane NTSB says both wings had craks
Well Sir, that's alarming.
A 60 year old plane with cracks in both wings. And still allowed to fly. No, fearful flyer, don't worry about the wings falling off. Can't happen. Unless it does. Then, you're quite abruptly....dead. But, Hey, cars are more dangerous, right. Statistics show....blah, blah, blah.

That explains why most early airplanes were bi-planes!
