I have, when I was in school we saw a Boeing test video where they almost touched before violently exploding. It was done in a giant building with bullet proof glass. They tied the 747 down and used cranes to lift the wings till they broke. What an explosion, no fire or anything but when they snapped it was amazing. I didn't know they were designed to flex that much! I wonder if it's on YT somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The missus hates flying and is terrified with the wing flex on the 777s we usually fly on. I showed her the same sort of video on YouTube, it is incredible just how far they will bend. The only thing I am apprehensive about these days is the excuse for food. She still hates flying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love flying. I'l fly in anything. After working them all my life I know how safe and redundant they are. Most people have no idea how safe they are. And yeah, I agree with you on the food. It used to be good back in the day, silverware, china plates, steak and lobster, now a stale bag of peanuts if you're lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the good old days, when at the right time of day you would get a delicious, proper meal between Sydney and Melbourne. The food on our return flight to Bangkok last year was atrocious. I have seen more appetising things on the foot path outside the dog pound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I think Singapore airlines has some nice service at least what I can see online. I never had the pleasure of flying on them, but the food and interiors are amazing. They put a lot of money into those beautiful interiors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
