Nobody Knows How to Rescue These Poor Stranded Boeing 737s
On Thursday, a freight train derailment near Superior, Montana sent three Boeing 737 fuselages tumbling into the Clark Ford River . Today, the cracked and scraped airplane bodies still litter the river’s shores, and officials don’t know how they’re going to remove them.

Train Derailment Dumps Two 737 Fuselages Into Clark Fork River
McGruber (1417641) writes "Boeing builds its 737 airplane fuselages in a Wichita, Kansas factory. The fuselages are then shipped on top of railroad flatcars (as shown in this photograph) to Boeing’s Renton, Washington plant, where assembly is completed. Unfortunately, a train carrying two fuselages to Renton derailed approximately 18 miles east of Superior, Montana. The 737s slid down a steep embankment and ended up in the Clark Fork River. That’ll buff right out."

Seeing frozen pizza get made looks a lot like CGI
It kind of makes sense for frozen pizzas to look so fake. As delicious as frozen pizza can be—and trust me, I think they’re fantastic—they’re barely food. They’re more like sodium-laced stripped wheat frisbees topped with spiced rubber parts. Here’s how frozen pizza is made in a big factory. If you pretend it’s CGI, it’ll make you feel better.

Every Job In America And What It Pays, Charted
What are people doing in America for work and just how much are they making at those jobs? This chart, which looks at the distribution of Americans through different industries and their median salaries, answers that question.
The chart is the work of Nathan Yau over at Flowing Data, who used the new stats from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to create it. Things really get interesting, though, when you start looking at the data not just nationally, but by state.
Switching the chart over to Michigan’s manufacturing-heavy economy yields a result that is, unsurprisingly, tilted towards transportation and material moving and production. It’s also fairly similar to the chart that you see for the entire nation. Leaving the salary point set at a median of just over $50,000 (represented by the portions of the chart shown in green), which is also the national median, the jobs that hit that criteria are mostly centered in financial operations, engineering, and management.
Compare that with data from Washington, DC, where the most popular industries shift radically into financial operations and management and the chart looks noticeably different than the national one. The median salary of $50,000 also appears much more frequently scattered around the chart, reflecting the very different kinds of economies (and costs) you can find across the states.
What’s going on in your industry? Do the charted number of jobs and median salaries match up with what you’ve seen? Tell us in the comments!

You Can Measure, Mix, Knead, and Bake Bread In this One Silicone Bowl
The best way to think of Lékué’s flexible silicone bowl is as a bread machine that won’t waste valuable kitchen counter space when not in use. Because it’s soft and flexible it can be easily stored in a cupboard or even a drawer, and because it’s all silicone it can go straight from the counter to the oven without messing any additional mixing bowls or pans.
