What kind of fire brigade takes that long to get to a fire amongst parked cars, that it reaches a total of 3500 cars on fire? "By the time first responders got there, 100 cars were on fire". Arson alarm bells are ringing here for me. Even with closely spaced cars, it takes quite some time for fire to travel from one car to the next. I don't see any howling wind on the day, aiding the fire movement? I don't see "long grass" in the photos, the grass is "short" by my estimations. Funny how when you can't rent cars for the foreseeable future, they just all happen to catch fire? "Hey Homer, make sure at least 20 cars are alight before you call the wrong number for the fire brigade!"

Chinese HATRED is overshadowed by the visceral HATRED that is spewed by Americans. HATRED of Blacks and Mexicans, HATRED of your neighbours, HATRED of the Left in political circles. Take a good look at yourself, before you accuse the Chinese of extreme HATRED. The American solution to HATRED is to go get your firearm and MURDER multiple numbers of your co-workers, schoolchildren, family, or just random people in the street. America is the sickest society on the planet, yet you claim to be Gods favourite nation? What a joke.

Ya'll seem to conveniently forget that Chinese outnumber Americans by around 4.5 to 1, and these guys just landed a spacecraft on the far side of the moon. They not only have all your Western technology, thanks to American corporations giving it to them, in their greed for profits - they also have electronics technology that is starting to exceed American electronics technology. History is full of defeated people who sneered at their enemys capabilities.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. Today, for your convenience, we have arranged faster exit from the aircraft, by dispensing with boarding stairs. Please watch the step on the way out, and thank you for flying Caspian Airlines, where you can expect fast landings and quick exits, every day of the week."

Why would you keep on building the equivalent of 400 Edsels and filling parking areas with them, when every single person who sights a 737MAX, backs off, holding out a cross? These 400 MAX aircraft will have to be given away in Santa stockings, along with chocolate enticers, for Boeing to be able to move them. Even then, the general flying public will still become wild-eyed, and look for the exits, when they're told they're going to be flying on a MAX today. Maybe someone will pick them up in a bulk purchase deal for next to nothing, and thus acquire a fleet that they can convert to cargo use. At least that way, only a couple of pilots and a bunch of freight and parcels will be at risk. Or perhaps they could all be turned into firebombers, because California and Australia would surely appreciate a fleet of cheap Coulson air tankers.

When you've bought over 100 Ford Edsels for taxis, you have to keep justifying why you bought them, even though everyone else won't touch them. Just 90% availability of the aircraft for the first 10 years of its life, would be enough to make me return all of them, if they were mine. Clark conveniently forgets all the hangarage hassles, runway strength hassles, maintenance equipment hassles, and sheer massive size problems that airports had with the A380. It must be great having a money bin 10 times the size of Scrooge McDucks, to run an airline that never actually makes money - it doesn't have to, when the gas and oil petrodollar pipeline, is the biggest the world has ever seen.

Let's trust that the Mitsubishi M100 is better designed, and less of a potent killer, than their deadly MU-2.

There was nothing "homemade" about the teenage students aircraft. It was a professionally-designed kitplane, and constructed with great technical skill by the students and their instructors. The terminology in your article appears to be belittling these excellent students and their instructors, and insinuating they are all uneducated "backyarders", building an aircraft from scrap and salvaged auto parts, with no technical knowledge.

The FOD problems are more likely related to a poor choice of the employees being used to build, weak management with poor relationship skills, and older, highly experienced Boeing employees retiring, leading to skills loss. This is not a new problem in factories, or when large groups of people are being organised to work together effectively with good morale. Allied WW2 production was littered with dangerous production errors and a lack of QC. Toyota Motor Co "took their eye off the ball" in the early 2000's, and paid accordingly, with a substantial drop in Toyota's previously highly-esteemed level of build quality. Now Toyota have found they have a need to bring back retired engineers to ensure their famous build quality is kept up to the mark. Some senior Boeing managers need to read "Staying Power" - the book that describes how the Japanese pursuit of attention to detail and perfection, has made them world leaders in manufacturing of virtually every product. The trouble with
