in the real world that is exactly what happened to chalk airlines grumman mallard seaplane above miami harbor with all aboard sadly lost.

this was attributed to "INTERGRANULAR CORROSION" of the aluminum wingspar. this due to high heat/humidity/salt air corrosion. it is invisible to the naked eye.

something to think about when buying anything aluminum from a salt air environment.
