1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

According to Swiss reports, Marchionne was travelling at about 60mph on the Swiss highway when a Renault ahead stopped suddenly. Marchionne hit the brakes, setting the 599's airbags off, and careered into the crash barriers.


He hit the brakes and that set off the airbags? Am I missing something?

Crash ;)

Doesn't Ozzy drive a Renault? I'm just saying...  ;D

And I wonder how doing just "60" mph can produce such massive damage... weird...

Probably because cars like that aren't made of the kind of steel you see in average cars? It has to be light so it's all aluminium and carbon fiber. It doesn't dent, it breaks up.....

Fenders are soft carbon (at least it looks like that on the picture), hood is aluminium, passenger section is super strong carbon. Probably with alu bodywork. Doors have steel reinforcement bars
