Yes--Jim Wright fatally crashed just north of the Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming and the aircraft was completely destroyed. The NTSB accident reports states as the probable cause: The in-flight loss of a propeller counterweight, followed by the pilot's loss of aircraft control during a forced landing attempt and subsequent inadvertent stall/spin to the ground."

A helicopter flies over Russian space shuttle 'Buran' as it is moved by a barge across the river Rhine in Duesseldorf, western Germany, 08 April 2008. The spacecraft is too unwieldy to be transported in any other way. The Russian shuttle, which orbited the earth twice during its working life, will become the world's first genuine space shuttle to go on view to the general public at the technical museum in Speyer.

I just built this folding bike to carry in my porsche. It folds , seat pushes down , bars come off with a wing nut, and the pedals unscrew without tools.
