It's alright, guys. Dozens of kids were sprayed with jet fuel in their playgrounds and had to be attended by medics but it's not a big deal because jim says so.

And because of this lower number of Chinese citizens starved to DEATH by Mao and his government, that this allows mrswdk to pass judgement on the CLEAR EVILS of the USA and UK. Yes, China is SO PURE and HOLY and the West is SO EVIL. And you criticize others for their DELUSIONS? REALLY? LOOK in the mirror, if you dare. The evils of China in recent years and under Mao are clear. The evils and terror and inhumanity of Communist, that mrswdk and Goranz defend, are very clear and are untenable. Keep trying to put rouge on that ugly face of Communism and EVIL, you two. Keep trying. You have convinced NO ONE of the greatness and moral superiority of the Chinese and of Communism.

Boeing has shelved all of its plans for the ‘797 NMA’ and has been asked to return to the drawing board by its new CEO. This is surprising as the Boeing 797 was rumored to be on the verge of announcement only a year ago, but now seems to be a concept that needs to be rebuilt from scratch.
Why has Boeing restarted the project?
Essentially, the market has changed.
“Since the first clean sheet of paper was taken to it, things have changed a bit … the competitive playing field is a little different,” Boeing Chief Executive Dave Calhoun told Reuters journalists on a conference call on Wednesday.
“We’re going to start with a clean sheet of paper again; I’m looking forward to that,”
“[The CEO] has asked the team to do an assessment of the future market and what kind of airplane is needed to meet the future market,” – Boeing Spokesperson to Reuters
There are two major situations that have occurred in the last year that they may be referring to.
The first is the Boeing 737 MAX disaster. Boeing has had to deal with the fallout of this scenario for the last year and put other new jet development programs like the Boeing 777X on the backburner.
Another issue is that a new rival aircraft has appeared which does largely what the Boeing 797 intended to do. Airbus launched the Airbus A321XLR aircraft back at the Paris Air Show and it has snapped up orders from many different airlines. This aircraft can fly an incredible range and seats up to 220 passengers.

The first thing to know about Boeing’s mad scramble to line up “$10 billion or more” in new funding via a loan from a consortium of banks, on top of the $9.5 billion credit-line it obtained in October last year – efforts to somehow get through its cash-flow nightmare caused by the 737 MAX fiasco – is that the company blew, wasted, and incinerated $43.4 billion to buy back its own shares since June 2013, having become a master of financial engineering instead of aircraft engineering.
If Boeing had focused on its business – such as designing a new plane instead of doctoring an ancient design to save money and time – and if it hadn’t blown $43 billion on share-buybacks but had invested this money in a new design, those two crashes wouldn’t have occurred, and it wouldn’t have to beg for cash now.
The second thing to know about Boeing’s mad scramble to borrow another $10 billion is that it already has a huge amount of debt and other liabilities, and that its total liabilities ($136 billion) exceed its total assets ($132 billion) by about $4 billion as of September 2019, meaning that it has negative net equity.
Aerospace company Boeing is continuing to endure fallout from the grounding of its 737 MAX, as the company announced its fourth-quarter results showed a 37% drop in revenue compared to last year’s period.

And yet, the man in charge gets to walk away with a payout that's at least 26.5 million and could reach double that. One major supplier has now laid off 2800 workers; others will surely follow. But no matter how empty the cookie jar gets, there will always be cookies for head office.

By the time it makes it back into the skies (if ever), will anyone be stupid enough to climb on board one of Boeing's death traps?
"During a hard landing at the Usinsk Airport due to landing gear problems, the plane hit the runway with its tail. According to preliminary data, there were no casualties from the incident", a source with the emergency services stated.
