The answer to the age-old question “How do you get four Boeing 737s into a river?”  Why, throw them off a train, of course.  I mean…duh.  Short story: on July 3rd, a train carrying Boeing 737 fuselages derailed near Missoula, Montana dumping three of the fuselages into the Clark Fork River.  The aircraft sections were enroute from Wichita, Kansas to Boeing’s assembly plant in Renton, Washington near Seattle.  The options for shipping something so large are few, and Spirit AeroSystems, the company that builds the fuselages for Boeing, says that they ship 42 fuselages per month this way.  By the way, the fuselage is the central “tube” section or cabin of the aircraft.

The Clark Fork River is popular with rafters, so imagine floating around a bend and seeing this:

No injuries were reported, and the cause is under investigation.  The train was traveling under the 35 mile per hour speed limit for that stretch of track.
