The GERMANS are packing them in

Keen disaster watchers take note - GERMAN "carrier" Lufthansa is planning to raise the potential death toll of plane crashes the world over, thanks to new, triple-decker beds that can ram more people into the new A380.

A380 disaster countdown: 278 days

The dream scenario for disaster head-count fans must be a couple of these colliding with each other due to poor visibility, while attempting to land at Honduras' notoriously tricky Toncontin International Airport.

Wouldn't they be better spreading the engines evenly across the wings?

Lufthansa is not russian, man, is a german company. "Luft" does not sound very russian. Do you remember Luftwaffe?.
And the plane from the image is an Airbus 380, Airbus is an european company. Russia has Tupolev, Yakolev, Antonov...

if they REALLY wanted to pack them in they'd get them to queue like at IKEA or a rush hour tube train. Could fit at least 4000 people in there.

The bunk picture is a moc up done for Lufthansa marketing research. The engines are spaced correctly but skewed by the perspective of the shot. I just spent ten hours Frankfurt Chicago in a coach seat. The idea of a bunk bed sure sounds nice compared to the cramp in my ass. goto airliners.net for full a380 coverage

It seems that there are some inaccuracies with this post so I am going to decline to comment until there's been an enquiry.

At least you know where you are with batteries.

If it were Russian, then I'd be up for this. On a trip back from Moscow with all those girls heading to work in our good old British massage parlours. They'd surely want to get some practice in beforehand. But it is German, and this probably just means the dorm will have a cabbage fart smell.

Hold on, a German transport vehicle capable of transporting people en mass...in apparently cramp conditions. I think they could be up to some old tricks again.

Why does that lower image remind me of the film Coma?

"Passengers will have access to snacks and water"

That statement alone is scary enough, I hate to think what Germans consider "snacks". Fun-size sauerkraut anyone? That smell in the cabin is only going to get worse...
