Antonov An-225 destroyed

[joe8]

The Antonov An-225 Mriya, the world's largest plane, has been destroyed. It was at the Hostomel Air Base in Ukraine for repairs.
There was also a second An-225 that was 60-70% built, not sure what has happened to that.

The 60% to 70% complete one will be harder to hit because there’s less of it to hit.

It set a record for carrying cargo on 11 September 2001? Strange I didn’t read anything about that.
