    Boeing shuts down Chinook production line in Pennsylvania

    Potential sabotage at a Boeing plant? Obviously a serious story but I did find the idea of a washer being "suspicious" quite amusing.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Army criminal investigators are looking into damage to two military helicopters on a production line at a Boeing Co. plant in suburban Philadelphia, prompting the company to shut down the line.

    Rep. Joe Sestak, a Democrat whose district includes the plant, said Wednesday he was told that wires that appeared to be broken or severed were found in one helicopter and a suspicious washer was found in a second.

    A disgruntled worker has been charged with damaging one of the helicopters but there's still no word on the other.

    Between this and the pissed off flight attendant trying to start a fire on an ERJ it's been a very odd week....
