World's Largest Passenger Plane

NPR's Sarah Chayes reports on the launch of Europe's Airbus Industrie's A-380 super-jumbo jetliner. The 555-passenger jet will surpass Boeing Co.'s 747 as the world's largest passenger plane. The Clinton administration says the government-subsidized loans to Airbus for the A-380 violates trade agreements and is planning to take the issue to the World Trade Organization.
