That is one beautiful airplane. It's suppose to be the safest ever built.

There's a great documentry they run on Discovery about how it was designed and built.

In December 2000, at Denver, all the 777's of United Airlines were grounded because the forward, starboard hatches leaked. You could see the streaks along the side of the aircraft. Technicians tried opening and closing the hatches, trying to feel their way and determine where they were not closing properly.

They appeared to shut, but they somehow were note completely shut.

Many Boeing and United "suits" paraded back and forth.

I will never fly the 777. I believe it is unsafe in the cold. The nose changes shape enough, to present structural integrity problems at the ports.

No thanks.
