    This was on last year on BBC2, shortly before the Quantas A380s started to have engine problems.

    When you see the work that goes into building the aircraft and the quality assurance it's amazing that things could go wrong.

    Well worth watching.

    It was a good programme thanks OP for the heads up ;)

    The accuracy and tolerances involved is simply amazing.
