I got the following in an e mail, do you believe it or is it just made up?

The top wing of a Camel fell off due to fatigue failure of the
flying wires. A successful emergency landing was carried out.

Losing the top wing would make the whole wing cell collapse, the lower wing alone would not support a flea. The whole list is, I suspect, a bit of a joke.
