#5 Interesting as Washington state was one of the hardest-hit places, and certainly the first.

I thought Boeing execs said they would not accept any bail-out money. If so, then I suppose they need to get back to work.

After hearing about that defective plane, I think some of those execs would hang in China.

#7 Is that Boeing story confirmed? I haven't seen it anywhere else.

If you go to the link, CrazyFool, you’ll see that the Daily Mail picked this one up from the Associated Press feed. When they do their own write-up, they’ll have a hotlink at the bottom of the article to the local reports they got the information from.

#9 Thanks TW. I tried the local news media (TV) but didn't check Seattle Times (an honest-to-god newspaper!). Even Seattle Times seemed to have buried it.
