Excuse me for overlooking maybe one plane type out of thousands ....... Time will tell whether a 777 ever goes down or not before they are all removed from service decades from now.

Labor issues at Toulouse? Yeah, why work when their socialist government will take care of them?
More Airbuster problems ping.

I was living in Seattle in the early 1970's, when Boeing employment in the area went from 101,000 down to some 40,000. There were some rumors that wiring harnesses on the 747 -- which was in initial development at the time -- were getting cut. Apparently Boeing would call employees who were going to get laid off into a central office, and would not let them return to the production line or to their lockers. They would send someone else back out to collect your belongings.

Last time I flew on an AirBus, I spent the entire flight wondering if the tail would come off before the computer crashed... Didn't you know that airbus crash was caused by terrorists? The gov't covered it up. I saw lots of people on FR say so, so it must be true.

Which means chock full of swiss-cheese-like holes.

The term "sabotage" is French and originated with the French workers sticking their wooden shoes ("sabots") into the gearing in factories to stop work as a labor protest.

The 777's maiden flight was 12 years ago yesterday. cool!
anyway, I think what Procyon was trying to say is that the 777 is well built, as is the trend of (at least American) planes as of late, what with all the advanced technology.
I really hope the composites path proves to be as reliable as we're banking on them being, in the long run of course.

The problem isn't with what was found, the overt damage, but rather with the sabotage that was NOT discovered.

Every type of airplane ever flown has crashed.
Okay, that's not a commercial airplane. But I dont think this has had a crash either.
