RE: a3xx deemed failure?

I recall people worrying how airports would cope with passenger volume when the 747 was in the development stages. I’m sure you’ll all agree that most major airports have the facilties to easily handle several 747’s today. As for your point about a crash, this is the kind of perspective which would fuel many over the top and scare mongering tabloid newspapers to print a load of rubbish about air safety and ‘death jets’ flying over our cities.
