Someone at CNN should be fired over this.

For several hours this morning, CNN.com's top story was headlined "Boeing unveils world's largest commercial jetliner." Since CNN posted this a full day after Boeing rolled out the 787, I thought that Boeing had gone and announced another new plane that could go head-to-head with the A380. I'm as excited as any plane nut about the 787, but this comparison from BBC News should set the record straight:



And, for the record, the Ukranian Antonov An-225 will remain the world's largest commercial jet, which it has been since 1988. Only one exists; a second was partially built in the late 80s but will be completed next year.
