What are the odds of a Boeing 747 crashing?
It is extremely unlikely that any airplane will crash. Any airplane that crashes just gets overtelevised by the news channels. Think about this... Theres over 5,000 car crashes in America, EVERY MINUTE. In 2008, there were only about 8 MAJOR aircraft incidents. The aircraft crashes/breakdowns, just get more attention because theres more than 2 or 4 people in the area.
Can you show me a Boeing 777 seating chart?

Fuel burn in aircraft is generally referred to as pounds per hour or kilograms per hour (depending on where the company that owns the airplane is based). The rule of thumb that I use for a 747-400 fitted with Rolls Royce engines on a long haul flight is 10 to 11 metric tonnes of fuel per hour. That equates to roughly 3650 US Gallons of fuel per hour. At an average speed of 450 knots (no wind) that gives you the highly fuel efficient 0.14 miles per gallon.
Compare that to an American sedan burning 20 miles to the gallon and it seems like a very inefficient number. However, when is the last time you put 400 friends in your car? If you multiply the fuel burn by the passenger load you are getting about 56 miles per gallon per person. Fill your sedan with 4 people and you are getting 80 miles per gallon per person. Now the numbers start to look a lot closer, don't they. Just don't try to drive to Tokyo in your sedan!

Wheels or tires? if tires, 14. If wheels, 7. There are 2 tires per wheel.

Advertised ranges vary somewhat depending on model. The initial model 747-100 had a fuel capacity of 48,000 gallons and could fly about 6,000 miles at its max take-off weight of 725,000 pounds. The middle of the line model 747-400 increased fuel capacity to 57,000 gallons and could fly about 8,250 miles at its max take-off weight of 875,000 pounds. The latest model 747-8 further increased fuel capacity to 64,000 gallons and can fly about 9,250 miles at its max take-off weight of just under 1,000,000 pounds.

How long can a 747 fly without refueling?
Easy to answer, 14 hours and 45 minutes with actuary based passenger weight data and baggage weight distribution loads over the three tier class travel sytem, but the distance it can travel depends is not predictable die to variations in weather, jet stream, cornialis effect, (East or Westerly direction) but is in the range of 7000 NM

The incident took place at El Paso International Airport.On March 7, 2008 a Continental Boeing 737-300 from Houston slid off the runway into the grass shortly after landing in Columbus, Ohio.
