Train Derailment Dumps Two 737 Fuselages Into Clark Fork River

McGruber (1417641) writes "Boeing builds its 737 airplane fuselages in a Wichita, Kansas factory. The fuselages are then shipped on top of railroad flatcars (as shown in this photograph) to Boeing's Renton, Washington plant, where assembly is completed. Unfortunately, a train carrying two fuselages to Renton derailed approximately 18 miles east of Superior, Montana. The 737s slid down a steep embankment and ended up in the Clark Fork River. That'll buff right out."

They also largely exist for the purpose of protecting the market of established distilleries as new excise licences for distilleries (as opposed to breweries and wineries) are difficult or impossible to come by in most places with excise law.

I would find excise laws far less objectionable if licenses were available to anyone who applied for one. I have personally applied for and been denied an excise license for a distillery, so I have direct experience that licensing is a form of racketeering, the kind of thing that would be illegal if applied to any other product.

But the current Boeing 737-600 up to 737-900 has not much in common with the original 737-100. Basicly just the dimensions of the fuselage are the same. In the same way you could say that Toyota still builds the Corolla.
