My understanding is that when Boeing was defining the 777, they aired the idea of a double-decker like the new Airbus. The idea was shot down at the time for the reasons given here: airport refits required, runway reinforcement required, and LIABILITY issues.

I don't want one of these things to go down, but I would like to know how Airbus expects to survive such an event.
