The last inspection was 4 years ago. The cracks were on the inside of the lugs where the bearing is, but away from the exposed face. No way to see them even if the pylon is removed. The bearing would have to be removed too so you can see the entire hole. Will be interesting to see what the inspection actually called for. I’d wager the bearing was not removed.
Also, the cracks seem pretty small for there to be complete failure. It looked like there was less than 20% of the material cracked when it let go. Doesn’t seem like a very robust design.

Its frustrating on the level of I was extremely happy with our trajectory under Sark to I would prefer to see him leave in just a matter of months.
So although you don’t know details or who really is to blame, you think the program or Sark’s standing is so damaged that he is not the best person to lead the program even though 4 months ago you were extremely satisfied. Wow. This shit must be truly awful whatever it is.

I can assure you that everyone I know including myself feels this shit is the last thing in the world that we want to be talking about now. If you feel like this has turned into TMZ you should direct that frustration at the personal responsible for this and that is Sark.So you are saying you know the rumors are true? Because that’s the inference if you want people to blame him for the TMZ shit.

if sark loses he's fired, is what he's saying and I don't think it's hyperbole I think it's objective fact that he's losing or has already lost the locker room.
Ok this is definitely hyperbole. He is not getting fired if he loses to Arkansas. Please. I see no evidence of losing the locker room. I saw a team that played hard but played generally stupid. You talk to players, so what is the objective fact besides seeing dumb football on Saturdays?

Most important coaching week for Sark since November of 2021
After an awful fourth quarter and yet another loss to Georgia, Steve Sarkisian now faces his toughest coaching task since November of 2021. Not just his toughest, but easily most important.
While that may seem extreme because it was year one, this is a true "culture" test and will be very telling about the future of the program under Sarkisian. Texas lost 30-7 in Ames to Iowa State November 6, and followed up by surrendering 57 points at home to Kansas. There were three other losses wrapped around those two games, but it was Iowa State and Kansas that showed a truly broken culture in the Texas program that Sarkisian and staff had to get out of the locker room.
Since that time, the only talk about the "culture" at Texas has been positive through the program build. You guys know I think "culture" is a bit of a catchphrase that is coach speak for the most part.
But real talk about a program's "culture" is front and center this week. Because it's about to be tested in a way it hasn't in a while.
Texas is atop the underachievers list of teams this season. Whether one agrees or disagrees with the No. 1 pre-season ranking, this team is much more talented than the performances on the field this season. It's been an undisciplined, inconsistent, at times the look of disinterested leading down the path of how much do you truly care in aftermath of the Florida game.
I believe this week and Saturday is going to define Sarkisian's tenure moving forward. Texas simply can't lose to a bad Arkansas team. But just as important, the Texas team has to have the appearance that they are pissed off, truly care and are taking the field Saturday to prove a point. Beat Arkansas by a couple of scores, and then beat Texas A&M in Austin six days later. There simply is no other option if Sarkisian want's to keep any of the positive momentum that was built with the program the two seasons prior.
As bad as the Georgia game was in the way the loss happened, a loss to Arkansas would be disastrous, period. It would send very difficult questions rippling through the university, fan base, nationally, the NIL agent world and more.
And I will depart with this ... a loss to this Arkansas team should be looked at as unacceptable. Absolutely unacceptable.
Coach speak is over. Nobody wants to hear it. This week is 100% about accountability, and then performance on Saturday.
I disagree with the premise. The Arkansas game won't really make a difference one way or another, as far as overall program trajectory. This is 9.95 hyperbole. The die has been cast on the Sark era. Offensively, it's undisciplined football where we can scheme guys open and we move the ball based on whether the QB has the skill and time to hit them, but we can't consistently run the ball or outcoach anyone. Defensively, it's soft pass defense that needs a crap QB and/or high draft picks at DB to stop people. None of that will change whether we win or lose the last two games.
Edit: special teams - it's inconsistent results due to spotty attention to detail.

UPS Airlines crash on take off at Louisville Airport.

It’s been a long time since I worked on this type of airplane but that looks like part of the horizontal stabilizer support. I worked on one that had a similar crack. The McDonnell Douglas engineering team was pretty freaked out by it and insisted on fixing it themselves. They said it was not very many cycles from letting the stabilizer break off.
