It really makes you question safety features aboard (one) of our most trusted and used modes of transport

I was pretty sure that it was real, because many details had been perfectly right.

Well, I hope they were insured... :shifty:

 

[Fabri91]

Hope so too, but one has to keep in mind that these were raw fuselages, with nothing inside, not completely outfitted aircraft, so the losses shouldn't be so horrendous.

I doubt those fuselages will ever fly. One had the tailcone torn off, another had the front right section of the cabin smashed in...

What a mess!

The damages can still be pretty high, since it happened right in the middle of production. Think of delivery delays or idle units in later production steps. If the track is the only route between the factories, it could even mean much more damages, since this then affects other orders as well.

Would all three planes just been destroyed by a Moai stampede 5 minutes before delivery, it would have been cheaper for sure.

a Moai stampede

Where the Niflsheim did you get that idea?? :rofl:

I think T.Neo was the first to come up with it. He deserves the credit in my case at least.

If this fact had happened in my country, the news would already be talking about 10 fatalities.
