Clickbait.

The B777 is probably the safest, most meticulously engineered commercial wide-body aircraft ever built.

They're also getting old, and airlines retire old aircraft.

The article explicitly says that the aircraft is safe. I don't think this is particularly clickbait-y.

"Future of US-China Relations in Question After Death of Hollywood Director"

A literally true sentence which falsely implies a correlation between events.

Discussion of the 777-200's economic viability has nothing to do with the Dulles incident.
