# Why demolish something,
when you can crash things into it?

# concorde is great tho
granted, its fucking expensive, but it represents the best of british design.

consider this..

concorde: 25+ years of service - 1 crash
boeing: 35 years of service - LOTS of crashes

# That's just averages though isn't it?
Look at the relative miles flown by each design. There must be 10,000 boeings flying every day, and only 6 Concordes in total.

# in a way yes
but how many boeings were engineered to deal with the stresses of supersonic flight?

excluding jet fighters

# Well,
being as they don't fly at supersonic speeds, not very many I shouldn't think. My Skoda isn't engineered to do 200mph.

# not really
it was a spontanious post, i may have a few numbers wrong

# Consider this:
Try dividing the number of crashes by the number of planes.

Just a thought. And an unfluffy one. Perhaps I should go to the pub.

they's sold it for about 1/10th of what it cost to biuld. Someone's gonna build an "entertainment" venue inside - casino's & stuff
