Plumb Bob and Crashed Aircraft
Object Lesson★★★★We’ve got this plumb bob, which is used with gravity to actually point downward and get things up and down. This here is a piece of the fuselage of an aircraft that crashed on Mount San Gorgonio in Southern California around 1950. This aluminum ore came out of a mountain, probably, and then it had to be smelted, made into the aircraft which could seem to defy gravity as long as the laws of physics were followed. But if we try to go against any of the laws of physics and aviation and good judgment, there will be a consequence.

The point
Uses a plumb bob to illustrate the importance of following natural laws, contrasting it with an example of a crashed aircraft that ignored these principles.
The lesson
Following natural laws is important for safety and success.
