Boeing's unveiling of its new 787 was a huge media event -- part news event but also a big party of sorts with music, giant screens and 10,000 people watching and smiling.
What is interesting to me is yesterday and continuing into today, Boeing's own employees have been walking up to the plane not to work on it, but just to marvel at it. Even reach out to touch it.
It's funny, these people see planes come and go every single day, but somehow this one is different.
From our perch two floors above the factory floor, you can see these employees are clearly proud of their accomplishment.
Tonight, correspondent Tom Costello will bring you more about the revolutionary technology used to build this plane and what new comforts are in store for airline passengers worldwide.

Hopefully, people will start to demand to fly on the Boeing brand and force some domestic carriers to dump Airbus.

It's nice to see that we are still actually manufacturing something in America. Here's hoping the 787 is a big success!!!

Sounds like its going to be a great plane...too bad most of the domestic carriers are still flying around 20+ year old planes and only two have actually ordered the 787...only in America would the best thing around be built by us and not used by us.

There was an error in the segment about the Dreamliner which just went to air. The correspondent claimed that jetlag will be reduced by maintaining a "lower cabin pressure". The opposite is true: jetlag is reduced by maintaining a higher cabin pressure. Perhaps what he meant to say was that the cabin pressure will be equivalent to a lower altitude: the Dreamliner's pressure will be the same as 6000 feet above sea level (whereas conventional cabin pressure feels like 7-8000 feet). Pressure is higher at lower altitudes. And incidentally, the cabin air will be four times more humid than on other jets, which will also make travel much more comfortable. I can't wait!
