I hope the wings don't break off!

Who would want to fly with 500 people?? There are soooooo many nuts in the world the chances of running into one on a plane this size is astronomical!!
Aluminum Goose sighting!!
1st class stretched seat (flat bed seat style). Offering about a third more seating and far more available floor space than its closest competitor, the A380 will have wider seats and aisles, open spaces for passengers to stretch their legs and access to lower-deck amenities.
A380 will be the most spacious passenger plane. There will be room on the lower deck for shops, bars, restaurants and casinos.
Luxury sleeping compartments. The A380 will typically seat 555 passengers in three classes, although only a fortunate few will enjoy the sort of luxury shown in this mock-up.
Who are the passengers? Condemned criminals?
"Around 300 of the passengers will be Airbus staff, and the remainder will be "other guests", says Airbus."
Wondering if those people are employees they would like to terminate but government rules won't let them?
I'll be praying for the passengers. I think they really need it.
Why am I not surprised the Frogs and Germans are sucking up to Arab Muslims on their first test flights of the Airbust?
Even painted the crash vehicle to simulate the Arab air fleet colors --- Black and Blue with blood red stripes I assume..
Could the French Airbust success be so dependent on Arab sales that they would do or say anything earn their Arab butt buddies "approval"?
Fruck the Fench..
Semper fi
I'd love to fly on it!
I would have loved to have had the contract for 474 fully instrumented crash test dummies...
Um, is it just me, or does this plane keep shrinking? I could've sworn that I read initial reports that it would hold upwards of 700 pax. Then it's been slowly dropping, and now, 474? A 747-8 can carry 450. What the deuce?
