The International Herald Tribune is the New York Times European paper, but it only allows excerpts unlike the New York Times

The IHT was part of the Washington Post family at the time of the WP/LATimes settlement with FR.

The Boeing 747 is a great airframe design.
Those who knock and ridicule the 747 because of those engines being shutdown, need to stop blaming Boeing, and put the blame on the groundmantaince crews who worked on the plane, or the Jet Engine manufactures, not Boeing, Boeing only builds the Airframe of the 747, not the engines.
The engine manufactures are : Pratt&Whitney / G&E / British company ROLLS ROYCE .
The 747 is one of the best airframe designs ever built.
