Behemoth A380s Touch Down in U.S.

Crowds cheered the arrival of two Airbus A380 superjumbo jets, which landed in the U.S. for the first time today carrying airline personnel and reporters. One touched down in New York. A short while later, another landed in Los Angeles. CNN showed live video of the second plane touching down, wobbling a little as it landed. Narrated the CNN anchor helpfully: “Whoa, steady, steady, steady.” If only he’d been narrating that terrible, bumpy flight I had into Denver. The landing surely would have been much softer.
