"Because the train was finished on time but the airport's North Terminal wasn't, the airport now pays Japanese manufacturer Sumitomo to ''exercise'' the 20 automated cars. And so, 7,000 miles away in a city called Mihara, Japanese engineers drive the trains up and down a specially designed $600,000 track to nowhere."

Un-freaking-real. And now they're estimating the terminal project won't be complete until 2010?!?!?! That project has already been underway for the better part of a decade.
