Depleted uranium was also used as counterweights for rudders and flaps in commercial aircraft and fork lifts, and in the keels of sailing yachts. In the aircraft crash that occurred in Amsterdam on 4th October 1992, DU used as a counterweight, was released into the environment (Uijt de Haag et al. (2000).
(To escape from "Liability Lawsuits", Boeing removed DEPLETED URANIUM COUNTERWEIGHTS from all airliners after the crash documented below.)

Gee, if the Air Force's "A-10 Warthog" DEPLETED URANIUM TONNAGE was in the same web page discussion with Boeing's Amsterdam crash that got them a call from somebody important in the Netherlands and an article in "Aftermath" in Flying Magazine, you would think Boeing would sell "APACHE ATTACK HELO ASSEMBLY LINES" to some holding company?
