The article called it: "the largest passenger airplane ever built"

I thought the Airbus A380 was the largest passenger plane ever built?

A340-600:

length 75.3m
height 17.3m
diameter 5.64m
seats: 380

A380

length: 73m
Height: 24.1m
diameter 7.14m
seats: 525

Yeah it seems pretty obvious to me that the 380 is bigger in almost every way than the 340-600. Just a little shorter is all.

OK...does anyone else find this funny? This line just kills me..."Not one member of the seven-man Arab crew was smart enough to throttle back the engines from their max power setting.

Seven people and not one thought..."THROTTLE BACK...THROTTLE BACK!!!" ???

well really only the pilot and copilot would have been able to do anything anyway, so what the other 5 people thought would be relatively useless. Not like they had a huge amount of time to deal with the situation.
