Laugh or cry?

I borrow from Yahoo the following news:

DUBAI (AFP) - The Saudi prince and billionaire Walid ben Talal on Monday placed a firm order for an Airbus 380, becoming the first individual customer of the new very large carrier from the European manufacturer.

Prince Walid, nephew of Saudi King Abdullah ben Abdel Aziz, signed with Airbus officials his order for an A380, described as the "Flying Palace", during a ceremony at the Dubai Airshow. The transaction amount was not specified, but the list price for an A380 is $ 320 million. The device will be delivered to the prince in 2010, according to Airbus.


good deal for our industry, but still what contempt for the planet!

and as a bonus, the management of airbus thinks that there are 20 people on the planet capable of paying this monster as a private jet, the majority living in the gulf ..... : Evil:

Hi,

I hope it's not the one I just saw on the news, which served as the engine test!
Otherwise they are 2 made for the price of 1

Hi,

Yep, the error is human, right?
Okay, this one is very expensive, for us and for the planet.

So reason like a big, wealthy capitalist:

"Nothing to worry about the greenhouse effect or the warming, anyway I have enough money to protect myself, the others can die, that will give us air"
