Of course i realize these comparisons are somewhat apples and oranges, however the MAIN driving force for Airlines to go for a new airplane believe it or not is economics and granted I am aware there will be advantages for flying the A380 on certain routes due to its higher people capacity.

OK, I hate to jump in here since I am not to familiar with the sort of subsidies wrt Airbus, however I can comment on the subject of the misconception I keep reading here in that getting military contracts is somehow = subsidies, which I disagree with.
I have worked in the defence /aerospace field ...

Germany-bound jet bursts two tyres on take-off
Two tyres on a Germany-bound Cathay Pacific jumbo jet carrying 350 passengers shred as it is about to take off from Hong Kong airport.

Anyone know the scoop on this what happened and why?

Don't which CNN article is being quoted but I just got this from the CNN article I read:

This sort of confirms it:
The shuttle launches with nearly three million kilograms of fuel, almost all of which is used up in the climb to space. From then on it coasts in orbit, using small engines to manoeuvre, but not blasting ahead full-out.

A week or so later, it's time to land.

OK I'll try the short story.
Fairchild Dornier filed for bankruptcy protection in April of 2002, (the whole company).
The bankruptcy lawyers tried to run it and sell of portions (different divisions like the 328Jet division, Airbus work etc.) and were succesfull with some of that.
The 728Jet ...

For those collectors and others interested in nostalgic memorabilia there will a auction sale of all the leftover assets of the former aerospace company, including the prototype 728 Regional Jet.
Go to http://www.dechow.de/start.htm and click on: "Versteigerungen"
Lots of interesting items ...

That's not chickenfeed!!
almost $2billion Us dollars more than enough to have developed the FD728 and saved Fairchild Dornier from bankruptcy.

I guess now we know why EADS did not bail out FD , they needed the money themselves :)

Just another clipping from the local newspaper:

Several websites trace the history of 9G-MKJ back 24 years under a series of registrations.

It was delivered to South African Airways on Nov. 6, 1980, and operated out of that country as a passenger plane for 12 years. In November, 1992, it was ...

Another report with eyewitness accounts of the crash:

By Richard Dooley, Peter McLaughlin & David Redwood – The Daily News with CP

HALIFAX INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

A firefighter emerged from the thin pall of black smoke, the acrid smell of jet fuel hanging in the air.

Some more latest news from the crash again condolences for the loss of life.
Like someone earlier said, a seafood BBQ of unprecedented proportions.
As I used to work there it is ironic we watched all the planes take off there as my office then was under the fightpath 2 km from the crash site.
