Very interesting clip TD, it's interesting to match up what happens inside with the crazy clicking sound you get from a failing drive .

What a shame...HDD platters with a gutter bolt through and attached to a bit of 2" x2" make for great pizza cutters....

First Lieutenant to Bridge, imminent thruster failure, instability possible, likely insertion of craft into local atmosphere, certain destruction of shell with death of crew life force possible, advise loading and deployment of life support pods to nearest life supporting planetoid, may your chosen God smile upon you...
