I am retired box hauler...many many miles in Convair 880’s,DC-8 Heavy's, DC-10’s and 747’s. By far the 747 was pussycat to fly, it would shake rattle and roll in heavy turbulence but never once did I fear a in flight breakup.
You haven't lived if you haven't seen a 747 completely covered with St Elmo's fire.

You haven't lived if you haven't seen a 747 completely covered with St Elmo's fire. I'll take your word for it...

In a former life I flew 747-400’s, I concur, I always felt safe in them. It will be difficult for them to locate the location of the mishap.
