  1. Poignant images.
    It is incredulous that this is the reality because the actions of the airlines which operated in their fleets : A380. A340–600. B747-400.

  2. Wow, just thinking about the billions and billions of dollars that were spent on those planes. Wonder if some museum will receive / accept an A380 for display.
