## Discrepancy

A HYD SYSTEM FAILURE AND SUBSEQUENT INCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY THIS RUPTURED HYD HARD LINE ON THE EXIT SIDE OF THE SYS PRESSURE UNLOADER VALVE.  FAILURE WAS APPARENTLY DUE TO FATIGUE AND TIGHT BEND RADIUS.    EDDY CURRENT INSPECTIONS ARE NOT ACCOMPLISHED ON TUBING: UNFEASIBLE AND UNREALISTIC TO DO SO.   AN UPDATED & STRUCTURALLY STRONGER TUBE WAS MFG AND INSTALLED.
