I would respectfully ask you to think bigger, much bigger.

Think of destroying the reputation of the 787, and eventually, of Boeing.

Liberals would burn down their own neighborhood rather than see it lived in without them.

Think of the LA riots, just is simply a different facet of the same rock.

Yup. If they can't have the planes built by unionized workers in Washington state, then there's no way they're going to allow them to be built by non-unionized workers in SC.

The term "sabotage" comes from a French (I think) labor dispute where the aggrieved workers tossed their shoes ("Sabot") into the machinery.

And witness what happened with Hostess just recently. Riled-up union workers can be incredibly self-destructive.

Ah, you are referring to the Press, not to the Boeing workers themselves—sorry, I misunderstood you before. I thought you were saying that the tail in question was built in SC, which it wasn’t, AFAIK.

The plane should not have caught on fire. That’s a scary defect and really bad news for Boeing, regardless of media bias.
