I very clearly remember the series "21st Century Jet" with Alan Mullaly and the teams designing, building and testing the 777. Doesn't seem that long ago.
Indeed it doesn't. The high speed abort test (at Edwards I think) where the aircraft was brought to a stop, the fuse plugs started to pop and the brakes caught fire, whilst the fire crew had to wait (while the clock ticked-down to meet certification requirements) to put it out was a great bit of documentary TV.
