The gist of this video is that Frances' illustrious Airbus, constructed from carbon fiber (non metal) is not at all as safe as Boeing's all metal fuselage jumbo jets. France's Airbus has more payload (passenger) capacity therefore can carry more people to their deaths in a lightning storm. But from the few comments here besides mine, that are way off topic concerning Obama vs Romney, I can make this one correlation: Obama is the Airbus in terms of potential devastation capacity to America what Geo Bush is the the Boeing.
