Here (Video, not for those unfortunate few with 28.8k or 56k)

Please bear through the 1 minute of commercials... it's worth it if you haven't heard of the A380 yet.

This jet is two-story, and is supposed to be able to carry 800 people at a time.    Just a couple...

True

Each crash will cost many more lives than current 747's or whatever the heck we're using now...  But...

More passengers per plane = less planes in the air

Less planes in the air = less planes falling out of the air

Less planes in the air = fewer pilots

fewer pilots = newby pilots are fired

no newby pilots = fewer crashes

Although, I do have to admit that this plane is HORRIBLY impracticle...  800 passengers in one plane?  You gotta do food, baggage bathrooms, etc for those 800... plus its gonna be hard to hold them all in a single terminal...  oh well...  Just my two cents...
