      From what I've heard Ed say about it over the last couple of years, my understanding was that he was actually HOPING that someone would break it and that it was indeed possible based on some of the things that didn't go right when he did it.

Considering what it takes to pull this of, it's mind blowing to think there haven't been any accidents, but it speaks to the care, planning & driving abilities of these guys. It'll be interesting to see what happens from here.
