  • Boeing Fuselages in Montana River After Train Derails

    SUPERIOR, MT -- A train derailed near Superior Thursday, sending Boeing aircraft fuselages into a river.

    Nineteen cars on the westbound train derailed. Three of the cars contained aircraft parts and ended up in the Clark Fork River. Boeing said the train was headed from Spirit Aerosystems in Wichita to the Boeing final assembly plant in Renton.

    No one was hurt. The cause is under investigation.

    Boeing said the Burlington Northern Santa Fe train was carrying six 737 fuselages, fuselage panels and a lower lobe for the 777, and a leading edge flight surface for the 747.

        The most shocking thing about this incident is that it was not a CSX train!

          Too much reliance on automation and process at the expense of fundamentals!
          Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.
