...short circuit at Airbus has turned out to be much more serious than expected. For several months, officials at the giant aerospace company have explained away the delays dogging their biggest project, the €12 billion superjumbo A380[an error occurred while processing this directive] plane, by blaming the wiring. Each A380 has about 500 km of electrical cables that need to be configured individually for different customers (so the explanation went), and that was proving far more complex than anticipated. Last week, the story changed. Airbus postponed the A380's launch once again, but acknowledged that the company...
...sadly for the Harrimans (and their lawyers), Joyce’s business trip is canceled before she gets to the Newark airport, and Marshall, late for work, isn’t at his office when the second plane hits. No armistice follows the Harrimans’ pair of close calls. If anything, Joyce and Marshall feel more trapped by their loveless marriage post-9/11 than...

You admitted that there was "a lack of identifiable plane wreckage" at the Pentagon crash site yet asserted that "the remains of all but one [of the passengers] have been identified." Does TIME have a theory that explains why two-thirds of Americans are untroubled by such an outrageous contradiction? Paul Holme Paranaque, the Philippines...

An attempt to combine liquid explosives in a bouncy airplane is likely to cause a prematurely explosion, inducing damage but not enough “bang” to blow the plane. Furthermore, mixing components on board, as the London suspects allegedly planned to do, produces a noxious smell that any half-witted air steward would notice...
...eager to read an in-depth feature about this month’s offerings at the Museum of Modern Art—but find instead a rave review about an opening in Berlin. The college student who can barely afford an online Times Select subscription surely cannot hop a plane to Paris/London/Bilbao—why must Nicholas Ouroussoff tempt me so? Like the unnaturally blue bagels left beside the toaster, so too is the Times’ Arts section rejected when they insist on publishing about inaccessible European shows. But you, my reader beleaguered by that meandering and self...
