In a way that video insults the guys who had the uphill struggle to get the beast into reality, and I bet it's still not that easy!

I don't think it's meant to be taken literally.

I'm sure it takes at least a couple of hours to assemble one in real life.

A30, what a very peculiar idea. It's no more insulting than the films depicting long journeys by steam train being condensed into a couple of minutes insult the skills of the drivers and firemen. It is an interesting way of showing how the aircraft is put together without people having to stand around for hours on end.

When it is towed out of the assembly building it has concrete blocks hanging from the engine pylons but when it is pushed into the paintshop it has engines!

Missed a golden opportunity ... should have made the film last 13 minutes and 7 seconds.

It must have been "Mufti" day. The lack of uniforms on the people fitting out the inside was suprising. Even someone in shorts.

I like those really mobile dangle platforms - can remember when they used to use builders scaffolding!

No wonder they hadn't time to install these fuel-lines properly

Judging by the number of a/c parked at Everett for rework, they should have taken more time. At least 5 minutes per.
