That parachute story is frightening, and has echoes of a murder case from nearby, at Hibaldstow. A guy was killed when his parachute was sabotaged, key components being cut where it wouldn't show. So the formation in the competition breaks up, the guy's main chute doesn't open, and the reserve chute comes free of the harness....

There's a whole stack of possible criminal charges, not just to do with breaking the FAA seal, against whoever checked the parachute. You might not be able to make Attempted Murder stick, but do you want somebody like that responsible for any part of airline security.
