Boeing Co. has sent technicians to the site of a train derailment that dumped six 737 fuselages and other aircraft components into a Montana river as they were being transported to a Washington state assembly plant.
The accident occurred Thursday in western Montana near Rivulet, said Doug Alder, a Boeing spokesman, in an e-mailed statement. The BNSF train carrying six 737 fuselages and assemblies for 777 and 747 commercial planes was on its way to Renton, Washington, from Spirit Aerosystems Holdings Inc. in Wichita, Kansas, he said.
