I would have loved to see a veritable Disney happy ending with them flying into the blue back to civilization, but this bird wasn't visible or flying before any of this, so treating it as though it were a rare flyable that was enjoyed in air shows by thousands every year is ridiculous.

Personally, I'm glad there are people out there with the money and inclination to undertake such projects. Even if they succeed one in five times, that's one more bird in the fold.

Sorry I don't agree. For the same reason ppl pay money to be put in of those cryostasis coffins.
Would go and just "have a try" if you can resurrect them even though are unsure you can make it?
NO!
See? Let the stuff were it is, it's not going to rot either, and one fine day, somebody who has the required resources available, will give it a try.

They obliviously did not have:

- enough money
- the right equipment
- basic ability of comprehensive reading
- leadership
- needed knowledge

only A LOT of dedication, but they overestimated their own capabilities even more.
Did you notice the tiny fire extinguishers?
They were not even prepared if one of the engines cached fire!

One more thing: I really tried hard, but their emotional pain didn't seem that deep... I would have freaked out so bad.

Personally, I don't need ppl like this, they generally damage more than they can save. No thx.
