Better start screaming .I am curious is the crash in Texas a result of
"Loosing" unequal amounts of fuel also?

Nope, it was the result of a maintenance error that resulting in the failure of
one of the ailerons. The pilot did not lose control of the aircraft but felt
that a controled landing would not be possible and elected to use the chute
instead.
