examples.
Out of curiosity, in what way was near disaster averted by Boeing
on the SST? By having congress not fund it?
No, I meant that the cancellation of the SST was a near disaster - I
was not clear on that at all. (Each of the three represent different
ways to almost kill your company.)
Funding it would have been a different kind of disaster (for the
government, if not for Boeing).
