Train Derailment Dumps Two 737 Fuselages Into Clark Fork River 187

McGruber (1417641) writes "Boeing builds its 737 airplane fuselages in a Wichita, Kansas factory. The fuselages are then shipped on top of railroad flatcars (as shown in this photograph) to Boeing's Renton, Washington plant, where assembly is completed. Unfortunately, a train carrying two fuselages to Renton derailed approximately 18 miles east of Superior, Montana. The 737s slid down a steep embankment and ended up in the Clark Fork River. That'll buff right out."

Of course! All new technologies must be handicapped to make sure that the sellers of old technology can continue to make money. All digital photos should come with auto-deletion code to make sure that the makers of photo paper continue to stay in business. And a guy with a sledgehammer should show up every five years at your door to make sure you don't just keep using your artificial knee replacement forever.
