Boeing's 747 to fly off the production line for the foreseeable future

"It's also worth mentioning that the 747 was not fully designed in CAD. The 757 was the first Boeing to be fully designed in a CAD system..."
Interesting, I always assumed they started using CAD sooner. (IIRC, when Lockheed started on the SR-71 the fist thing they did was writing CAD software to do it.)

Re: no warning of toxic gases then, just aesthetics and housekeeping issues
Dust can be very, very dangerous when inhaled. Even when it's not toxic as such. For example, some materials can simply clump together when exposed to the moisture in your lungs, clogging them up. Other possibilities include chemical reactions of the dust with the moisture. A lot of materials behave different when ground up into fine dust due to their increased surface area.

"Improper" accounting practices are not necessarily illegal accounting practices.
This could be due to different rules of accounting, especially rules of valuation. And different taxation laws. And a lot of other possible differences. With a lot of tricky details. If this is the case here, we're not so much looking at illegal practices by the subsidiary, but possibly a big blunder by the parent company. (It is BT after all.)
Example: when Mercedes Benz got ready to morph into DaimlerChrysler and to get listed at the NY stock exchange, they published two financial statements in parallel for that year; one drafted as per the German rules of valuation, one drafted as per the US rules. Version one: 2 Bn DEM profit. Version two: 0.5 Bn USD loss. No, accounting is not like engineering.

Re: Cruel and unusual punishment...
From the linked article: "The proposal is to build a 30-metre an artificial emissions tower to reduce the distillery's environmental impact."
That seems like a fancy synonym for chimney. Or exhaust duct. Or... the target is an exhaust port located at the top of a raised structure...

Re: That's why...
Just remembered this old chestnut:
An engineer, a pysicist and a mathematician are each given the same task: open a can of beans without any tools.
The engineer picks up the can and hurls it against the wall as hard as he can. The can cracks open.
The pysicist picks up the can, tries to estimate the can's size and weight, does a few quick calculations and hurls the can against the wall as hard as he can at the optimal angle from the optimal distance.
The mathematician picks up the can and says "let's assume this can is open..."
