there was a show about the 747 on Disovery once. In it, they showed the wing load testing. They flexed the wing like the A-380 pic shows. When it had reached it's breaking point, it exploded at the break. On the tube, it sounded like small arms fire. It had to be a LOT louder in the testing area. I'd prefer a Boeing product whenever possible.

You know what they say: "If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going."
