Default 787 Story by Dan Rather

Certified? You mean by the same folks that certified the Cessnas with fuel
caps that ingested water, the 737 with a goosey rudder, the 747 with
exploding fuel tanks, the Electras that shed wings every now and again, the
727s that hit a critical angle of attack and started digging giant gopher
holes...

You've got more faith in those yahoos than I do. So far as I'm concerned,
they couldn't find their hineys with both hands in a phone booth with a GPS.

Don't worry, I fully expect Boeing to be able to defend their design
with test data. If they couldn't, they wouldn't be able to get it
certified.
