PTQ: Put Together Quickly

This time-lapse video shows Boeing’s “Aircraft On Ground” team repairing damage to a 767 that was inadvertently shoved into a blast fence by a tow tractor. The AOG team had to pull the airliner in two, insert a new bulkhead, and put it all back together again—in three weeks. Boeing produced the video. (02:18)

I remember reading this in your magazine some time ago - and when I just forwarded a picture of a UAL 747 with a tail strike on takeoff at Sydney (5/2010), I'll bet those guys will be there in a day/2. So I had to look up this article and forward the URL with original article.

Having read the article I was impressed - I think they could build an entire airplane in a remote hanger if they wanted - wow!

Talk about service....

Who does that song? It is pretty cool although the lyrics past "one two three four" are pretty muddled

Thanks

Remember the prolonged suffering and eventual death of the people on Japan Airlines flight 123 when the pressure dome ruptured blowing off the tail and destroying the hydraulic system. This was as a result of a botched 'repair' by Boeing. It is so tasteless and callous to produce such a trivial silly video. Maybe it was this irresponsible approach that led to the deadly botch in the first place.
