Train carrying 737 fuselages derails.

[Joe Flyer2 3]

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:

Speed is not considered a factor.

Just realized I spelled train wrong (train)! Fixing it now.

 

EDIT: Never mind... looks like I can't! Everybody, just pretend that trian says train. Ladies and gentlemen, that is why you proofread :rolleyes:.

Possible to salvage some of them for parts or restore?

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.

+BrianG Then I suppose they should re-route that track!

 

 

+n4gix Thank you for fixing it! Moderators have the almighty power on websites.

Yeah, wouldn't that be sweet! Can't get much better than the real thing!

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.

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.

   I'm surprised, the news media hasn't had their "aviation experts" on TV, claiming it was probably pilot error.
