Brilliant engineering. It makes one feel very safe.

No kidding. If they can screw up such basic stuff, it makes you wonder
about the really technical stuff.

Hi

Off topic, but I used to live in a town where Nuclear Submarines are
built. The procedure is to build a complete hull section of the sub
flat on the ground, jack it vertical, move it into position and weld
it into place, then add another section etc.

Some years ago, it was only when they tried to figure out why the
internal decks didn't line up that they realized they had welded a
complete section in place upside down.

That's what happens when you use an Airbus letterhead.
