Default four cut rate Boeings

Oh! They got a slightly bigger problem than that! http://online.wsj.com/articles/boeing-assessing-damage-to-aircraft-components-after-train-accident-1404584812?cb=logged0.6627472503184064 Now watch when they try to sell them as new aircraft-corporate greed being what it is these days. I think I'll stop flying in presoaked 737's for a while!

Is it a plane, is it a train, is it a boat?

It's...a wreck...

EDIT: Boing 767... Well, I suppose it did kind of go 'Boing' when it slammed on the gas and climbed again....

^"Photos from the scene showed three 737 fuselages that tumbled down an embankment, two of which were partly submerged in the Clark Fork River below the tracks. A fourth 737 fuselage appeared to have been torn apart during the derailment and was resting next to the tracks." So much for 'finely tuned logistics'

The East river is a jet magnet.
That or they're a new type of fresh water submarine.
