#75: europe stealing thunder
TGV, France set the world speed record for trains on wheels. At that speed, a trip from DC to NYC would take 35 minutes, not the 3.5 hours it takes for Acela! The Airbus A380 earned favourable reviews on its trial trips to the rest of the world (more on that some other day).
For the first time since WWI, market capitalisation in European stock markets exceeded that of their US couterparts. Even counterfeiters now prefer the Euro to the greenback US$.
Other than David Beckham's mega-million-dollar retirement plan, most "firsts" are being clocked east of "The Pond". Is Uncle Sam losing his edge?
