Maybe they shut down the wrong engine? That has happened before...

My favorite is the TACA Airlines 110 "ditching" that ended up not landing in the water after all!

SpaceX Had To Call Off A Launch Only A Few Seconds Before Liftoff

I will have to see if I can find a citation but the scuttlebutt at the time was it was a military aircraft that caused the scrub, not a civilian one.

Belarus Scrambles MiG-29 to Divert Ryanair Flight to Arrest Opposition Leader

Needs to go one step further and prohibit all airlines that serve destinations in Belerus or transit their airspace from entering EU territory.

This New All-Electric Seaplane Glides Above the Water Like a Hovercraft

I would assume that it would run as a hydrofoil until far enough away from shore before fully powering up into Ekronoplan mode. I can see this idea working between the Hawaiian islands but it would need to be careful to avoid shipping lanes.

I don't know if the Ekronoplan was a failure as such, it did work but they really had no practical use for it in the Soviet Union. For a country or state mainly made of islands like the Bahamas or Hawaii I think there might be some practical applications.

So it's basically a modern take on the Ekronoplan?

France Moves to Ban Short-Haul Domestic Flights

Right but the crossover point in my opinion is if you are connecting and need to change train stations in Paris, then the airplane starts to make a lot more sense.

France Moves to Ban Short-Haul Domestic Flights

As long as there is frequent service from the CDG TGV terminal to these cities I think this is fine. If it means having to take the RER to Gare du Nord and and transferring from there to the Gare de Lyon or whatever station on the metro then that is an entirely different conversation. IMHO anything slower than flying (judging by city center to city center) isn't equivalent.

Is it too late for Boeing to develop a mid-range aircraft?

I don't think SC can deliver the quality that airlines demand. No one wants a jet that ends up being grounded for quality control issues like many of the SC-build 787s currently are.
