Subject: Re: wing failure
Manos,

I'm beginning to seriously worry about you. Or are you simply trying to
stir up trouble?

Or do you actually, really, truly believe that your wings can suffer a
CATASTROPHIC (you should know that word well since its Greek in origin)
failure? All of a sudden?

How? A Great White maybe? In which case you have more than failed wings
to worry about.

So you develop a leak in your wings u/w where, last time I looked, there
is no up or down, certainly not in the open ocean where you apparently
dive. So position yourself so that the leak is in the "down" position
and therefore can't leak gas.

Easy.
