Default Video - Al Jazeera Investigates - Broken Dreams: The Boeing 787

An interesting watch;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvkEpstd9os
Al Jazeera's Investigative Unit and reporter Will Jordan investigate Boeing's "Dreamliner", finding some workers with quality concerns, alleging drug use and fearing to fly the plane they build.

Don't know what to make of it - you'd think that there would be quality assurance processes that would catch issues in the build of such a precise and complex piece of machinery - at the pinnacle of human engineering.

Still a beautiful plane nonetheless...
