Added example(s)

Added DiffLines:

* HarsherInHindsight: Pan Am and TWA are shown as behemoths who would revolutionize air travel. Just three years before the release of the film TWA was unceremoniously bought out by American Airlines. A decade before that Pan Am was unceremoniously bought out by Delta. Both were largely forgotten for many years. However both have come back into popular culture somewhat in recent years due to their iconic status of a forgotten age when air travel was a luxurious status symbol instead of the laborious task it is today.

If the claim that Di Caprio is a foot shorter than Howard Hughes is the only reasoning for the casting comment, it should be removed. Di Caprio is 6 feet tall, only four inches shorter than Hughes.


* WTHCastingAgency: Leo as Howard Hughes. Not even so much that he's bad as he's clearly a foot shorter than the real Hughes (who stood 6'4").
