...claustrophobic calamity that is air travel. The chair is 19-in. (48 cm) wide, affording about 5% more room than on other jets on this route. There's a 8.4 in. (21 cm) video screen with about 3,000 hours of programming, (about as long an overnight flight can feel). Alex Hervet, an A380 design engineer, explained to me that he repositioned the hinge point on the chair back an inch higher so that your knees won't get squeezed when the guy in front of you reclines his seat.

And say the game was replayed, and Ireland came out and destroyed a distracted French team - would that really feel good? If the Henry handball never happened, who's to say France wouldn't have scored a few minutes later? Or won the game, and the World Cup spot, on penalty kicks? Because of the blown call, we'll never know what really should have happened. A brand new match doesn...
