  Well, first of all, he doesn't know about European aerospace
  company Airbus, which produces airliners (and is in fact comparable
  to Boeing in its output).  He dwells on 1950s and 1960s events,
  and doesn't even mention later events, even when they would
  seriously support his case (and there are a lot of them).  He
  refers to the Lockheed Tri-Star and the 747 as the "Boeing Jumbo
  Jet," which I haven't heard since before KAL 007.  Japan=radios?
  c. 1970!  I agree with the article, but it's got "1970s" written
  all over it.  Might it not be a trenchant reprint?

Eh eh, I wrote just about the same concerning Airbus (I did not read your

There is a catch, though: The earthquake. It was 5 years after the writer's
passing out (out/away/?)...

   Not a catch.  He's referring to 1906--although, to be honest, that's
   not much different functionally from mentioning the Chicago Fire.
   That would definitely be one of those naive points.

   It's definitely a 1973 production, though.  I found more corroborating
   evidence from a bevy of websites where the article is reprinted.

I thought by that time (1973) knowledge of history was more widespread... the commentator should have known that NOONE might have helped back in 1906 (or the Chicago Fire for that matter, which I believe was around the (...)
