Interestingly, I notice the ruined house in the second pic... could that mean that Cruise and Brat are trapped in a cellar after the plane crashes into it, rather than a spaceship or cylinder?

To me that looks like a proper plane and not just something put togther for a set. I wonder if SS has bought a duffer and cut it up, and if he did, how much did that cost. Also wondering, are we to see bodies amoungst the wreckage, maybe a loansome Fighting Machine shifting through the wreck, picking out 'good' bodies, putting them into the basket and off it goes - damn that would be creepy.

That plane most of made some emergency landing, because if it had been falling from the sky, there would be no recognizable bits left.

well it is (was) a real 747 seen here in victorville in calif. already cut up. an old 747 sitting in a boneyard will most likely cost about $2 million if it is due to be scrapped. a drop in the bucket for this film www.airliners.net/open.file/698203/M/ |

No chance, it costs about $10'000 (remember your not paying for the plane your paying for the scrap) for a full scrap plane in that condition not including the cost of transporting your wreck to the set, cost of cranes etc. There where a load of pics leaked ages ago showing Cruises mustang under the wreckage, to me the hull looks peeled open, we know Cruise and Dakota watch the horror from the house so are they watching a FM peel back the hull, extract the survivors and feed? |

Now that's scary! You get the image of the aliens opening up the plane and feeding on the people like we open a tin of sardines and feast on the fishy delights within.
It's a very clever way of interpreting the Ruined house sequence. I like it!

If this turns out to be close to the truth it just jumpd up a notch on my expectations'o'meter. |

You have got to be talking more than 5 figures for a 'ready to scrap' 747.
10,000 smakers for a 747, damn, you'll be seeing the things popping up all over eBay for that kind of figure.

There was a programme on TV the other day called mythbusters (Discovery channel I think) they wanted to seal up a plane to see if the myth of explosive decompression had any fact in it (or more acurately can you be sucked out of a bullet hole ond would it blow up the plane) so they went to a plane yard and paid $10'000 dollars for this plane they did their experiment on. But since I have never wanted a plane corpse and will probably never want one you can pay what you want it doesnt realy bother me. However think of this, a plane is basicaly a plasic cylinder with a metal frame work, its scarp value isnt very high, you can buy a decomissioned warship for £100'000 because its a huge steel structure. Maybe if the plane could one day fly again it would be worth more but these planes will never ever fly again, they are rotted smashed hunks of plastic with no use what so ever. |

I was basing the $2 million ESTIMATE on the fact that there are several TONS of aluminum and several hundred miles of wiring in that airframe. besides if you could pick up a 747 for 10 grand i would be living in one. it has about 3 times the floor space of my house  |
