July 7, 201411 yr Just an hour ago, a train carrying six 737 fuselages, as well as parts for both 747's and 777's, derailed for unknown reasons... sending three of the six fuselages into the river, one badly damaged :(. You can find more info in this link: http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/derailed-train-montana-sends-boeing-fuselages-river-n149321 Speed is not considered a factor.

July 8, 201411 yr I grew up on the Clark Fork River in Montana about 3 miles from where this accident occurred. I know that bend very well. There was a serious train derailment where chemicals cars lost their load in the same location about 30 years ago. Brian Green
July 8, 201411 yr Author +BrianG Then I suppose they should re-route that track! +n4gix Thank you for fixing it! Moderators have the almighty power on websites. Joe.
July 8, 201411 yr I may buy the front end of one of the bodies for my home cockpit.. B) Yeah, wouldn't that be sweet! Can't get much better than the real thing!
July 8, 201411 yr This is three out of their current 2000+ orders so it won't have a major impact on things. Boeing is VERY diplomatic about being late, as a matter of fact they are the best on the world at it. ANZ is extremely happy with the delivery of their very late 787-9's for example but Boeing did sell a few 777's at a lower rate to make up for that.

July 8, 201411 yr Wow what a loss, I call dibs on the one with the crack in the fuselage if they cut it off there I can have a first class section in my home cockpit. ATP MEL,CFI,CFII,MEI. Type Ratings B-737, ERJ-190,ERJ-170
July 8, 201411 yr I'm surprised, the news media hasn't had their "aviation experts" on TV, claiming it was probably pilot error.
