Heard some reports that an overhead crane dropped a fuselage of a 737 being built in the spirit/Boeing plant in Wichita this afternoon, apparently damaging two or three other jets and possibly killing a person.
This plant is just where they build the fuselage and then send those to Boeing Renton to be built.This message has been edited. Last edited by: ThankGod4Sig,

Dropping a 737 fuselage sounds weird.
Serious about crackers.

Noy seeing anything on that on the local news. Stay tuned.

That's great to hear that nobody was hurt. I can't imagine what this accident cost.
